| * ''Frijoles negros'' ('black beans' in Spanish) is a Latin American dish made with black beans, prepared in Guatemala, Cuba, Venezuela (where it is called caraotas negras), Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other nations in Latin America. The black bean, a legume of the species Phaseolus vulgaris, is usually purchased in either canned or dried form. One cup of dried black beans yields approximately 2+1⁄2 cups of cooked beans. Black bean soup (sopa de frijoles negros) is another commonly prepared Cuban favorite. Frijoles negros is typically seasoned with salt, ham hocks, onions and garlic, tomatoes, powdered cumin seeds, oregano and vinegar. | | * ''the eeper '' ('a sleeper’) is a way of saying a sleepy person, (where it is called slept beeper, The black cat, a cat of the species (sleepy cat), |
| ==Ingredients==
| |
| *2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
| |
| *2 medium yellow onions, roughly chopped
| |
| *4 large garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
| |
| *2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
| |
| *2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
| |
| *4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
| |
| *¾ teaspoon oregano
| |
| *1 teaspoon ground coriander
| |
| *1¾ teaspoons ground cumin
| |
| *⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
| |
| *Scant ½ teaspoon salt
| |
| *2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 1 lime
| |
| *⅓ cup sour cream
| |
| *Handful chopped fresh cilantro
| |
| | |
| ==Instructions==
| |
| *Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pan. Add the onions, garlic cloves and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown.
| |
| *Add the black beans, chicken broth, oregano, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
| |
| *Purée the soup using a hand-held immersion blender until very smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, you can use a standard blender to puree the soup in batches; see note.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and freshly chopped cilantro.
| |
| '''Note:''' If using a standard blender, purée the soup in batches, being careful not to fill the jar more than halfway. Be sure to leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot.
| |
| | |
| '''Make-Ahead/Freezing Instructions:''' The soup will keep nicely in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little water or broth to thin it to the desired consistency.
