As a big bean and soup fan, this easy to prepare recipe has convinced me right from the first 'spoonful'. It is hearty and delicious, perfect for a chilly day and if you pep it up with some sour cream, fresh cilantro and fresh red onions, it gets to the next level. Wether you are cooking your own black beans (takes a bit longer due to soaking them in water over night and than cooking them before starting with the soup preparations) or you go for black bean cans, this soup will just turn out excellent and delicious.
