Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
pinch of dried oregano
pinch of cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
14 ½ fluid ounces water
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup minced green onion
2 teaspoons sambal paste (or minced red chiles)
juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
3 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a cold pot. Turn heat to medium, cook and stir until the bacon is cooked but not crisp.
  • Stir in onion; cook and stir for 5 minutes, until the onion turns translucent and golden.
  • Stir in garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken stock, turn heat to medium-high. Stir in oregano, cayenne and salt. Add black beans and water. Return to a simmer.
  • Simmer on medium-low, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes. While it's cooking, mash about half the beans to thicken the soup.
  • Stir in black pepper and cumin. Add salt to taste.
  • Make the relish by stirring together minced green onion, sambal paste, and lime juice.
  • Serve garnished with relish, chopped green onions, and sour cream.
