Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 bacon slices -- finely chopped
2 medium onions -- chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
6 garlic cloves -- pressed
14 1/2 ounces chicken stock
1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes -- chopped
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 cans black beans (15 1/2 ounces each) -- drained
but not rinsed
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper --
to taste
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 lime -- juiced
thinly sliced green onions -- for garnish
sour cream -- for garnish
grated cheddar cheese -- for garnish
Put the bacon into a large heavy pot and place it over medium heat.
Cook until it starts to give up its fat, about 4 minutes. Stir in the
onions and cook, stirring, until they start to turn translucent, about
4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until you can smell it, about 1
minute. Add the broth, tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire, and chili
powder. Stir in the beans, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
Adjust the heat so the soup is bubbling gently and cook 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, pick off all the thick stems from the cilantro. Wash it and
shake dry. Chop the cilantro coarsely and stir it into the soup when
it has been simmering 10 minutes. cook until the soup is thickened,
about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice. Serve with the garnishes.

NOTES : "Back in college, a great local cafe stayed opened into the
wee hours ladling up their version of this stuff. The first time I
slurped some of it down after midnight, I decided to make black bean
soup my own tradition. Mine is hearty and smoky, and if it's lying
around, I'll also throw in a can of beer for good taste and in
keeping with the spirit of a good night on the town. Like the onion
soup, you'll want to make this ahead of time so you're not faced with
the prep-work when you and your friends just want to kick back and
chow down after a long night. Using smoked bacon makes all the
difference in the world because those beans are just begging for that
rich, smoky flavor." Dave Leiberman
