Directions
Cuban Black Bean Soup,The original. Not time-effective.,We find this soup comes together fairly quickly with the use of a pressure cooker. The seasonings can saute, while the beans are being cooked. This means we also have reduced the liquid, which we have replaced with vegetable stock. We have kept the cumin where it is, but we’ve also upped the other spices somewhat.
