Black Bean Soup
(Serves 4)

A wonderful Caribbean soup to love

This is a rich and spicy soup that can be served as a first or second course. If you need to cool down the hot taste, a dash of sour cream may be added. This also gives a color contrast.


Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup black beans, soaked overnight
1-2 onions, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
3-4 sticks of celery, finely chopped
1/2 lb. spicy sausage, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons jalapeño, finely chopped 1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon oregano or savory
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
salt and freshly ground black pepper
olive oil

Preparation: Begin by lightly frying the vegetables and sausage in a large casserol with a little oil. Drain the soaked beans and add them with the stock to the pot.
Bring to a boil and skim thoroughly. Add all the spices except the oregano. Cover and simmer for 40-50 minutes or until the beans are completely soft. Add the oregano, salt and black pepper to taste. Serve in deep soup plates.
