I got pissed off at the local mexican places because no one does black bean soup right. The last place I went to, I seriously think they just mixed a can of beans with a can of water and heated it up.
I do a can of rinsed beans with only a little bit of water, some chopped onions and garlic, a shitload of tabasco sauce and a little sea salt. And then you've gotta make sure to smush the beans when you're stirring it so the soup will be good and thick.
Black beans are
very, very good for you.
