ingredients
- 453.59 g dried black beans
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1 green pepper (chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 3 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1 medium zucchini (chopped)
- 236.59 ml corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 knorr chicken bouillon cubes
- 453.59 g rotel (I used the milder one)
- 3312.26 ml water (divided use)
- 2 whole habanero peppers (left whole so as not to make this soup spicy)
- 29.57 ml prepared bacon bits (the kind that is already cooked when you buy them, or homemade)
- 4.92 ml ground cumin
- 4.92 ml dried oregano leaves
- 4.92 ml chili powder
-
garnish
- fresh cilantro
- sour cream
- grated cheese
- sliced green onion
directions
- Soak beans overnight in 4 cups of water. Drain off the water and put beans in a large pot.
- Add 10 cups of water to the pot with the beans. Bring the beans to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook until the beans are tender. Approximately 2 hours.
- When the beans are tender, add the remaining ingredients, and simmer until desired consistency. You may need to add more water. If it is too thin, cook longer until some of the liquid has cooked off.
- Remove habaneros from soup when they become soft, or leave them in if you like your soup spicy.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, sliced green onions, and grated cheese, if desired.
