Made soup to warm me in south Louisiana and know that I'd never survive someplace snowy like Minnesota.

I usually make the Panera version, but I thought this sounded a little different because of the vinegar and liquid smoke. It was really good! Thanks!

Wonderful soup! The lime cilantro cream was such a great touch - it really contrasted nicely with the other flavors. Thanks for sharing! Best of 2011 Tag.

Made this soup exactly as posted, only using a can of fire roasted tomatoes, which is what I had on hand. This was THE BOMB! Super easy to make, and healthy too! I hadn't had chipotle powder, but while on a mission for something else, I found some at the local health food store. I think this is what gives it such a wonderful flavor, oh, what do I know, only that this is just excellent! I'm going to make another batch tonight just because I want another bowl of guilt free goodness! I made the cilantro-lime cream but I think I put too much zest in it, because it was very limey, think I'll just tone it down a tad with this next batch, but no worries, this soup can stand alone as well! Thanks so much for the recipe!!

This soup is fantastic and I didn't even add the cream! I doubled the recipe because I eat soup for breakfast every day and wanted a change from my regular rotation. I read through the reviews a few days prior to making it and added 2 T of chipotle puree instead of 2 tsp. No worries though! It was a perfect heat level for me. Thanks for sharing this great soup recipe, wicked cook! It's a keeper!

This seems to be unanimous! We all think it's a 5 star recipe. I tagged this in the "Best of 2010" game and it was so worth it. I made as posted with the exception of blending it. Only because DH and I like chunky soups. I made this for a light dinner and served it with buttered rolls. The chipotle powder is what gives this soup it's unique flavor. This is a keeper not only because of the flavor but the ease of preparation. Thanks for posting. :)

Wow, this is delicious! I can see why it made it into someone's best of the year cookbook last year. I used fire roasted tomatoes, half the chipotle and 3 garlic cloves. I used a hand blender to partially puree it. The smokiness of the bacon, chipotle and fire roasted tomatoes with the lime sour cream is so good!

This is a really good soup. After making other soups containing bacon, I'd recommend this slight modification: when the bacon is done, put it in a small bowl of water until it's needed again, then drain before adding to the soup. That just ensures that the smokiness of the bacon doesn't dominate the other flavors. This soup was delicious!!

Yum! I ended up discarding some of the extra liquid at the blender step, because I prefer a thicker soup. I didn't have chipotle powder, so I substituted some red pepper flakes. Served with chicken & cheddar quesadillas (which were excellent to dip in the soup, I definitely recommend it). Thanks for posting!

I don't know where to start. First let me admit - I did not think I would like this soup because I have never come accros a black bean soup that I liked and I actually avoid them. I decided to make it because DH really likes them and I have never made one myself. So after putting it all together - I added a bit more garlic, a hot pepper, used 2 tsp chipotle in adobe sauce - I served it for the two of us and gave DH a big bowl and a ridicously small bowl for myself, thinking I should at least taste it. Boy - was I ever wrong!!!! We absolutely LOVED this soup - this is a must try - even for those of you who like me really don't like black bean soups ;) I had to go back with my small bowl for several more. Like all the other reviews I will say that the sour cream topping is a MUST - it elevates the soup to new highs. I will be making this again for sure. Made for Gimme 5.

Followed exactly, and can't say I would change a thing, the only thing different I might do, is following the slurping with a jolly ol "jig"! Dancing around, what's this all about? Just you try and see before you get in a bout' .......Beans, cumin, tomatoes too, all bring this soup right to a crest-to. The sour cream dressing is a must! Perfectly, delightful! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* October 2009

If your looking for flavor with a capitol "F" you've just found it. I didn't puree and omitted the bacon out of personal preference and it still kicked butt. Don't skip the cream blend topping, it really is the crowning glory in this recipe. It's addition really sends this recipe over the top. Wicked you have done it again and given me another Keeper that is also so quick and easy. Made for Photo Tag

WOW, lots of great flavor for such a small amount of work. Used fresh chopped chipotle and adobo sauce instead of the powder. Next time think I'll try it with fresh roasted tomatoes. YUMMY, thanks for sharing
