Don't get too excited. I'm not posting a recipe quite yet. This is actually a plea for a recipe. Today, the other MB and I had lunch at Chelly Belly in lovely downtown Delaware. I'm not sure whether they are a chain, related to Pot Belly sandwich shops or not, but they are a nice quick lunch stop if you happen to be in D-town.
Anywho...I had a forgettable turkey panini, but the soup was awesome. I forgot to ask whether it came in pre-packaged or they made it (I suspect it was homemade) but it was a Black Bean and Rice soup. If anyone happens to have a recipe, share it please!

So - what kinda bean soup was it? did it have distinct Hispanic overtone - things like chipolte or cilantro? or was a it plainer than that? All veggie or did it have meat in it?
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple different recipes - one of them is pretty plain, the other is awfully new-fangled and has things like soy sauce it in...
Let me know what direction you are headed...
This soup definitely had a latin vibe to it. There was plenty of cumin and cilantro and a mild heat. Didn't taste any chipotle smokiness.
ReplyDeleteSoy sauce in latin food scares me...but I'll try anything once!
I cannot find the bizzaro recipe with the soy sauce in it. It was just a little bit that helps round out and deepen the flavor.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, my other favorite recipe is from the Fog City Diner Cookbook By Cindy Pawlcy. It is pretty darned tasty and has all the flavor notes that you are looking for. The only substitution I usually make is that I will make pork broth if I can find some neck bones at the grocery store. Otherwise chicken it is.
You can access the recipe online through Google Books. It's on page 47 of the book itself.
Sounds yummy!
