Spicy Black Bean Soup

This was really good. I’ve never “roasted” jalapeños this way before but will certainly use this method in the future. Instructions did not say to remove the skin after roasting, so I didn’t and hope that was right. I used 3 jalapeños because I wanted some kick. Maybe it was my brand of spice, but the smoked paprika was a little too smoky so will use 1/2 regular and 1/2 smoky next time.

Absolutely loved this soup recipe. I didn’t use any smoke flavours though as I don’t like it. I subbed in heirloom canned tomatoes and regular paprika and it still tastes fantastic. I will be making this soup again.

Love everything about this soup!! Pureed entire batch and will definately make again. So good.

I think this soup is great! Made it pretty much exactly as written. I found the flavours really balanced with all the lime zest and juice and all but I’m pretty into lime.

I'm making this soup as I write, the only alterations to the recipe I've made are using pressure cooked dried black beans instead of the canned ones and I didn't have enough limes so added the juice of one orange along with the lime. It's about ready to eat and smells absolutely amazing. Can't wait for dinner.

I made a few substitutions and omissions, but this turned out fine. Unfortunately, I dislike smoked paprika, but had Hungarian hot paprika and substituted 1teaspoon instead. Spicy, but good. Didn't have molasses, so I substituted pure maple syrup instead. Also, I only had two medium-sized limes, so I used the zest and juice of those and that seemed like just enough citrus for this quantity of soup. FYI: This soup took me two hours to prepare. Would make this again. Yes!

I made this soup last night and my husband and I loved it. It's one of the best Black Bean soups I have ever made. The only thing I did differently was cut the portions in half and also substituted maple syrup for the molasses because I couldn't find any here in Mexico City.

I just added Shrimps. Delicious and I will be making it again, again and again!

I highly recommend this recipe- it was so flavorful! I kept everything the same except reduced the lime zest & juice slightly and didn't puree it.

Fantastic! This has such a beautiful flavor. What could be a boring black bean soup has been turned into something hearty and slightly exotic. I do not care for limes themselves but love the flavor and excitement they add to recipes. Thank you for making such a great cold weather comfort food that is healthy. Even better day 2,3 flavors really marry nicely.

I actually love the citrus in this, but I'm a fan of citrus in general. Good smokey flavor and, yes, lots of lime. A good healthy, hearty meal.

WAY too much lime -- it's the predominate flavor when made following the recipe. Could it be that the zest and juice should be measured in teaspoons vs. tablespoons??
