     Black Bean Soup

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   Vegetarian
Servings   6

Ingredients
12 ounces black beans, washed and soaked in 2 quarts of water for six hours or overnight
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons lightly toasted ground cumin seeds
1 medium onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded and finely chopped
12 ounces (two bags) baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus additional for garnish if desired
 

Instructions
Soak the beans in the water for at least six hours. If they will be soaking for a long time in warm weather, put them in the refrigerator.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes, and add half the garlic and the cumin. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add the beans and soaking water. They should be covered by two inches of water. Add more water as needed, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and skim off any foam that rises. Cover and simmer one hour.
Add the salt, chipotles, remaining garlic and half the cilantro. Continue to simmer another hour, until the beans are quite soft and the broth is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Let sit overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor.
Partially puree the soup using an immersion blender, or puree 2 cups of the beans with a small amount of broth in a blender or a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Stir back into the soup. Bring to a simmer. Add the spinach, a handful at a time, and simmer for five minutes. Stir in the remaining cilantro, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with warm tortillas and garnish with shredded cheese if desired.
