Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped, approx 1/4 cup
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
6 ounces smoked ham steaks, diced
2 (15 ounce) cans whole black beans, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans refried black beans
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can creamed corn
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
30 ounces chicken stock
8 tablespoons gouda cheese, grated fine
4 key limes, just a squeeze over soup before serving

Steps:

  • In large pot, heat oil with medium heat and add shallots and garlic.
  • Saute until translucent, approx 2 minutes.
  • Add chopped ham and saute for another 2 minutes.
  • Add all beans. To drain black beans, place hand on top of opened can,
  • slowly turn over and let the juice flow out between your fingers. It's kind of fun :).
  • Mix well; the refried beans will need to be broken up.
  • Add creamed corn and chopped sun dried tomatoes.
  • Add cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Add chicken stock and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes.
  • Serve in bowls topped with grated Gouda and a squeeze of lime juice.
  • I would suggest all the toppings too :).
  • Toppings: (Optional).
  • Avocado, cubed.
  • Cilantro, torn into small pieces.
  • Fat free sour cream.
  • Tortilla chips.
  • Big Spoon :).

I'm not a big fan of black bean soup, but this recipe was surprisingly good. It was flavorful and hearty, and it wasn't too spicy. I would definitely make it again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would definitely make it again, but I would reduce the amount of chili powder.
