- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 cups dry black beans1/2 cup chopped onion2 Cloves garlic, crushed2 tsp olive oil1 tsp ground cumin1 large or 2 small bay leaves1 Tbsp sugar1 Tbsp white vinegar1 tsp thyme1/4 tsp kosher salt1 tsp ground coriander1/8 tsp black pepper1 Tbsp fresh Cilantro
place black beans in a soup pot and soak overnight. After soaking remove from pot, rinse well, and set aside. Spray the soup pot with nonstick cooking spray and then add 2 tsp olive oil. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Add beans to the pot and continue to saute for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent beans from sticking. Add water to cover beans about 1 inch. Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until beans are tender. If a thicker soup is desired, remove some of the beans and puree in a blender. Stir to combine after adding puree to pot. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro if desired.
