Your chopped egg garnish is a new twist on black bean soup to me. It's such a hearty soup that I can see making it a meal. I'd make this so thick my spoon would stand up and be really content.


Such a hearty soup; love the ingredients love it all. A great fall or winter soup.

Nothing beats bean soup on a cold winter day. This recipe sounds very tasty and easy to adapt to be vegetarian using fake bacon and toasted sesame oil to replace the bacon fat. Thanks!
