- 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
- 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.
