This looks delicious! My father used to sing that song when I was a kid :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny into :). You know, the more you eat beans, the less "negative" effects they have on the digestive system. Anyway, black bean soup ranks up at the top of the list for me, so I'll happily be giving this recipe a try. Thanks for posting it.

ReplyDeleteYou're a crack up! I love black bean soup. I'll give your recipe a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe more you toot
ReplyDeletethe better you feel
so let's have beans
with every meal!
Starting with this recipe!
So I bought a bunch of black beans in the bulk section (is that recommended? frowned upon?) and don't have a package with a basic recipe on them. I'm confused by the many "basic" ways I've read to prepare beans (soak all night, no soak, keep the water, toss the water, etc.). Can you please share a basic bean prep recipe?
Your Black Bean Soup recipe looks really good. The lime really adds to it. I will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Very intersting recipe! I'd love to try it! Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites last week!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll stop by again this week. I'm celebrating my blogiversary with a giveaway for a Presto Cool Touch Griddle!
