Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Hearty Soup. It's time to make soup, and one of my favorites is black bean soup. It can be vegan or made with smoked pork bones. Here's the recipe.
I used a new brand of black beans, they softened very quickly, which was great. I added my favorite vegetables, unfortunately I couldn't find Venezuelan celery or arracacha, but I still got the desired proportion. I hope you like the recipe, the secret to the beans is the cumin, which is a must, as well as the salt, of course.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans
- 150 g smoked pork bones
- 430 g vegetables (cassava and Chinese taro)
- 1 carrot (70 g)
- 1 corn cob
- 80 g chopped seasonings (sweet pepper, chives, garlic, and green pepper)
- 7 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Preparation
1.-. Wash the black beans and soak them in plenty of water overnight so that they hydrate and are free of gas on the day of preparation.
2.- When preparing, drain the water from the beans, wash them, and cook them with enough water in a pot over medium-low heat.
3.-. When the beans begin to boil, add the smoked bones. The idea is that both the beans and the smoked bones are tender.
4.- Remove the skin from the cassava, taro, and carrot. Wash everything thoroughly and then cut into pieces. Next, add the root vegetables to the soup.
5.- Peel the corn cob, remove the husks, wash it, and cut it into pieces to add to the soup. Also add the chopped seasonings and dried oregano.
6.- Peel the garlic, chop it into small pieces, and add it to the soup. Season with salt to taste and a teaspoon of cumin. Cover the pot and cook until the vegetables and seasonings have softened. Adjust the salt to taste. Turn off the heat and let the soup rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
7.- We served the soup. It was delicious.
I hope you liked it, this has been my participation in Hive Top Chef competition. See you another time.
