Directions
Brazilian Orange & Black Bean Soup, I have served this recipe as soon as its cooked, as leftovers the next day, and even out of the freezer It is extremely versatile – for brunch with tortillas, dinner with cornbread, or a soup and salad lunch I always get tons of compliments When I reheat, I re-season a bit and it also tends to thicken up over time From one of the Moosewood cookbooks , I soak the beans over night & then add low fat/sodium chicken broth to the beans in a crock pot & cook on low I saute the vegs as directed & add to the crock pot about 2 hrs before serving I do not add the orange juice until abhout 15 min before serving also add a little grated orange zest & a tablespoon of brandy at that time Gives it a kick have the condiments on the side for everyone to garnish themselves Love this soup!, used canned beans, a can of diced tomatos, skipped the cayenne, and didn’t blend it I thought it was very good, but quite spicey!! So, if you like spicey you’ll like it I think maybe it was too much cumin? I’d make it less time with less cumin to bring the spice down a notch for me Otherwise, very tasty and good even if not blended
