Cuban Black Bean Soup - Oct 18, 2009

Cuban Black Bean Soup

I came across this recipe while flipping through 'The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper.' It sounded tasty and used some peppers, of which we have plenty! It required a bit of intensive prep work initially, including lots of chopping onions and peppers, cutting ham off the bone, plus I opted to make dried black beans instead of using canned. But once everything was in the pot, it was easy. I was impressed with the flavors. It made a big batch, so we have plenty of leftovers for quick future meals this week.
