Traditional Costa Rican Bean Soup image

One of the local favorites in Costa Rica, it's a wonderful and comforting meal. Black beans are the best in my opinion! I would recommend spicing this up a little with some hot sauce or even some slices of fresh hot peppers! It's very simple to make as well.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This soup was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and the beans were a little tough. I wouldn't make this again.
