black bean soup


Can you tell this is when Michael got a new camera? All the other pictures on the blog before now were either snapshots I took with my point-and-shoot or just borrowed from the website where I found the original recipe. But now, hopefully, things will start looking a little more beautiful.

This was made using this recipe. Michael made this, so I can't really speak to the difficulty of the recipe or anything. I do know that he left out the jalapeno and just used two chipotle peppers instead. I have to say that this tasted really, really good. For (what was at least supposed to be) a thirty-minute soup...wow. The chipotle chilis and the adobo sauce made it so smoky and deep. Really, really good recipe. The only sad part was that this was way too spicy for me. I could only make it through about half a bowl before the spiciness made it hard for me to enjoy. It was sad, because the flavor was great, but I just couldn't handle the heat (so I got out of the kitchen). Granted, I am a super baby about spicy things, but still...with two chipotles, this was quite hot. I'd make it again, but only if we used one chipotle...or maybe half of one.
