The New Moosewood Cookbook (Mollie Katzen's Classic Cooking)

By Mollie Katzen
TEN SPEED PRESS - 2000

This was easy to make and very tsaty. I used a 15 oz. can of (Goya) black beans (drained & saved) and a 28 oz. can (365) diced tomatoes (drained & saved). Then I added liquid to make 2 cups (instead of the 4 cups of cooked down black bean liquid). I used 1/8 tsp cayenne and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper. I used my immersion blender to blenderize part of the soup, leaving some chunks of vegetables intact.

I'm sorry to report that I wasn't that crazy about this soup. It came out too thick, so I added 2 extra cups of water in the course of cooking it. I even added 8 oz. chopped Polish sausage (I know. That's not vegetarian!) to try to give it some "kick". I added way more salt (an extra Tablespoon, to be exact) and a 1/4 tsp. pepper to try to spice up this soup a bit more. It was too little; too late. It came out just so-so.
