I made a half-recipe and discovered at the last minute that I was lacking black beans per se, but I did have refried black beans... substituted them in. This was excellent! Otherwise followed recipe exactly (minus the fresh cilantro which my grocery was out of) -- the cilantro would have been a great additional touch. A good solid and tasty soup, and a portion will go with me to work for lunch this week. Made for veg'n swap May 2011.

Oh boy, did I love this soup. I cut my carrots and celery into slices and loved the added texture to the soup. The cayenne was a nice and welcome addition - just a hint of spice. The only thing I did differently was to add another cup of water as it was simmering. Thank you so much!

This was a very flavourful soup. I feel that the sour cream/lime juice/cilantro mixture added the perfect final touch to the soup.Thank you.

Good soup! We loved all of the vegetables along with the black beans. The seasonings were very good - loved the little zip from the cayenne! Thanks for sharing! Veg*n Swap 31

This is my new favourite soup! I added more water but also kept all of the liquid from the canned black beans, and that helped thicken the soup and gave it a nice dark colour. I also added some onion powder, garlic powder, and a whole lot of black pepper for a little extra flavour and it was outstanding! I've had two bowls of it and I'm trying my best to not eat the whole pot. Thank you!

I loved the consistency of this soup...very thick and plenty of veggies! I did find it a little too spicy for my taste and would recommend omitting the cayenne pepper. It ended up overpowering the beautiful flavors of the cumin, paprika, and bay leaves. I think that simmering for longer would also meld the flavors better too. Thanks Studentchef!
