Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups dried black beans (I use black turtle beans)
6 cups water
2 tbsp oil
1 chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
chopped hot/jalapeno peppers, to taste
chopped celery (I leave this out)
ground black pepper
1 tbsp whole mustard seeds
juice of 1 ½ lemons
Directions
Place the beans and water in a large bowl (add more water if needed to cover the beans) and soak them overnight. Drain and add 6 cups fresh water to bowl.
Heat the oil in large heavy bottomed pot, saute onion, garlic & celery 5 min. Add beans and water and stir, bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 hours or till beans are tender.
Remove ½ the beans to a food processor or blender and puree (or blend with hand blender), adding soup liquid to cover. Return to pot, add mustard seeds and pepper. Stir on low heat until soup thickens, then add the lemon juice. Stir and ladle into bowls. Can be garnished with a thin lemon slice and celery leaves if desired.
