    Directions

    1. Cook 1 c. onion and the garlic in oil in Dutch oven till tender. Add in remaining ingredients, except minced egg and onions; heat to boiling. Boil 2 min; reduce heat. Cover and simmer till beans are tender, about 2 hrs. Serve with minced Large eggs and onions.
    2. Serving Ideas : Pronounced: Soh'-pah deh free-hohl' nay'-groh
    3. NOTES : A dash of rum and dusky-tasting cumin give this version of black bean soup a hint of sophistication. Garnish each serving of this dramatically dark soup with bright yellow and white of hard-cooked egg and minced onions or possibly, if preferred, finely minced green onions. Note from Pam
    4. Creeden: I used 3 cans (425 grams each) black beans, partially liquid removed, reduced broth to 2 c. and omitted water. I also used Turkey Ham plus a small splash of Liquid Smoke, but added the turkey ham during the last half hour.
