Hearty & Thick Black Bean Soup image

These black beans are delicious. I have made these for years, everyone likes them. I have passed along the recipe to lots of people. I got the recipe out of a PG&E pamphlet (years ago). The recipe is from MUSTARD'S GRILL' in St. Helena CA, the Napa Valley. Prep time does not include soaking the beans.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb black beans
4 1/2 cups water
1/4 lb bacon
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks celery, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2-3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
8 cups chicken broth or 8 cups beef broth
salt

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight in the water OR bring to boil then let stand for 1 hour; drain.
  • Cook bacon in heavy, large pot over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in garlic, celery, carrot, onion, jalapeƱo and bay leaf.
  • Cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, cayenne and pepper.
  • Stir until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add beans and broth.
  • Cook at a slow boil until beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • I have used more broth to make it a soup.
  • Season with salt.
  • Mustard's serves these beans topped with chopped red onions, a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives.
