Today's soup is in honor of Cuba. They have been in the news lately as some of the travel restrictions have be loosened. I hope very soon they will allow tourist travel. I have wanted to travel to Cuba for some time. I want to see the beaches and scuba dive. I hear both are incredible. In the mean time I will have to content myself with Cuban style cooking until I can travel there and taste the real thing.
Today's soup looks much better in person then it does in the picture. It is easy to make and it tastes really good. If you like bean dip or re-fried bean you will like this soup. You can make it without the bacon if want a vegetarian version take out the bacon and use a two tablespoons of olive oil be saute' the onions.
2 strips of bacon
1/2 medium white onion chopped
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cans black beans, drained and rinsed.
Fry bacon in the bottom of a medium size dutch oven until the bacon is brown. Remove bacon and saute the onions in the grease left from the bacon. add the spices and vinegar, then add the broth.
Place two cans of the black bean in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add to the soup pot along with the third can of beans. Bring to a boil, then simmer until heated through. Ladle into bowls to serve. Sprinkle with the reserved bacon and top with sour cream.
4 servings
