11782 Black Bean Soup with Rum Over Brown Rice 15-20 minutes 15 minutes 2 servings Tue Mar 25 18:16:33 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 11:48:00 -0700 2008 Easy Cuban User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11782 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:48:00 GMT This is a tasty soup on-the-go. With tons of veggies and protein, it’s also quite wholesome. I almost always have the ingredients in my pantry or freezer, and it’s quite a versatile base for other ingredients.

The rum is a feisty addition.

  • Cook brown or white rice per instructions.
  • In saucepan, on medium heat, heat oil. Cook diced onions and garlic until onion is transparent. Add chili powder and cumin to the onions and saute for a few seconds.
  • OPTIONAL: Add 3 Tb of rum to the onion mixture and simmer for about 1 minute
  • Add chicken broth and can of black beans. Raise to a boil, then simmer for about 8-10 minutes. This is also a great way to use up parmesan rinds in your fridge. Just add the rind along with the black beans.
  • I like to add canned tomatoes and frozen corn kernals to this mix, but you can also add other veggies, especially red or green bell peppers and/or cilantro.
  • Sprinkle salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Scoop the rice into a bowl. Spoon the black bean soup over it. Squeeze some lime juice and enjoy!
