Ingredients
- 2 cups Eden Dried Black Beans
- 2 Tbsp Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 1 medium red, yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 Tbsp Eden Cumin
- 5 cups water
- 2 cups brewed coffee
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1/4 cup Eden Bonito Flakes, crumbled, optional
- 1 tsp Eden Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions or parsley, for garnish
Directions
Sort, rinse and soak beans as box directs. Drain beans and discard soaking water. Heat oil in a soup pot and sauté the onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, bell pepper, celery, and cumin. Sauté about 5 minutes. Add soaked beans, water, brewed coffee and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, skim off any foam that rises to the surface, and reduce the flame to medium-low. Cover and simmer about 1 1/2 hours until the beans are tender. Remove the bay leaves and add the sea salt. Cover and simmer another 10 minutes. Serve soup garnished with chopped scallions and a dollop of plain organic yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
