Introduction
I got this recipe off of the back of a bag of dry black beans at Sateway. I modified it with low sodium options where possible and added rice to make a more complete protein.

It was FABULOUS with my modifications, including NO BACON, double the garlic, only 1 carrot, no rice, half a chopped green pepper, 1 chopped serrano chili pepper, and lemon instead of lime juice. I also threw in one diced potato. I pureed 80% of the soup and garnished w/ sour cream + parsley. YUM! - 2/12/11
