Anyone know how to make really scrumptuous black bean soup?

My mother-in-law makes amazing Frijoles Charros. Its dry black beans, lard, canned tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, and onion. I can kind of estimate the measurements if you already have a feel for making black bean soup.

I make it by buying it from Panera Bread :) It’s very very good. Maybe they have a recipe in the interwebs somewhere.

Oh, Lizzie, you’re so cute. :)

Take a look at the recent question on Easy Recipes. There are both my chili recipe and someone else’s black bean soup on it.

I love the cooking blog smittenkitchen.com , and she just did a recipe for black bean soup that looks really good…

@Facade I was going to say the same thing! They have the best black bean soup.

Add file powder, or mint flakes, or maybe various crushed nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews.
