Time 6h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 red onions, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium carrots, cut into large chunks
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pound dried black turtle beans, picked over, rinsed and drained
1 smoked turkey drumstick (1 3/4 to 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons pickling spice, tied in cheesecloth
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream and/or lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Set aside half an onion and chop the rest. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots and garlic; sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, until slightly browned, 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Transfer the vegetables and cooking liquid to a slow cooker. Add the beans, turkey drumstick, pickling-spice packet, red pepper flakes and 8 cups water. Cover and cook on low 6 hours.
  • Remove the drumstick and shred the meat; keep warm. Remove about 2 cups beans from the cooker and blend until smooth (or partially blend with an immersion blender). Return the beans and turkey meat to the soup. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mince the reserved 1/2 onion. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the cilantro and minced onion. Garnish with sour cream and lime, if desired.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a healthy and affordable meal. I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, and it still turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed this soup. The turkey and spices balanced out the flavor of the beans perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used ground chicken instead of turkey, and it turned out great. I also added a can of corn and a can of diced tomatoes. It was a hit with my family.
