To Die for Black Bean Soup Recipe Request
Comments (7)Here are a couple I have copied and pasted. Lpink's Black Bean Soup with Red Paprika Sauce (This is Lori from near the Battle Creek area) Serves 8 1 lb. bag dried black beans (soak in 4x their volume of water overnight. Drain before cooking) 8 cups water or broth, (I always use broth. For me it's veggie bouillon, but you could use chicken or beef I guess.) 2 med. onions, chopped 2 ribs celery, diced 2 cups chopped tomatoes (I use canned) 2 TBSP paprika (I use Penzey's brand, I have both sweet and hot and I mix the two, but use whatever kind you like to your taste.) 2 tsp. ground cumin 2 bay leaves 1/2 cup cilantro, finely minced (Note: I just add a TBSP or so of dried cilantro or parsley, because I rarely have fresh stuff around, it goes bad on me before I can use it up) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 cup corn Note: DON'T add salt while the beans are cooking, this toughens their skins. Simmer beans in the broth until soft. Could take 1-2 hours on the stovetop. I do my beans in the crock pot on high for about 5 hours minimum, I add the veggies and spices right at the beginning, except for the corn, which I use frozen so it doesn't need to cook. If you're making the soup on the top of the stove, add veggies and spices during the last hour of cooking. Add sauce (recipe below) before serving. Adjust the seasonings to suit your taste. Red Paprika Sauce 2 TBS olive oil 1 large red pepper diced or sliced thin 3 scallions, minced 2 tsp. paprika, or less, to taste 2 tsp. salt 2 TBS lime juice Saut� pepper and scallions in the olive oil. Add the paprika and other seasonings. Add lime juice just before taking it off the stove. Additonal note: You can add browned turkey sausage to this soup along with the veggies with excellent results. That's how I make it to please the meat-eaters. Use hot or regular sausage, depending on your taste. The soup is delicious served with a dollop of low fat sour cream or yogurt. You can stir in the sauce to the soup and then freeze. You can leave out the corn, but it is colorful with the red pepper. You can puree some of the soup before adding the veggies or pepper sauce or sausage. It's just a great mixture of flavors however you adapt it. You could even add a little garlic, good for the heart. I like to make the soup in the crock pot, except for the peppers. Don't cook peppers in a crock pot because they get bitter. I have made this soup for a crowd and it was very well received. Laurie ____________________________________________________________________ Jayne's Black Bean Soup (Jayne hails from Indianapolis) 1 pound bag of black beans (soak overnight and rinse very well) I put them in a crock pot to cook all day. I add vegetable stock (or water if I don't have the stock). Then finely chopped garlic, onions, celery and carrot and pepper (green or jalapeno or both). I usually don't add meat, but sometimes will add small cubes of very lean ham. I season with salt, pepper and cumin. I've wanted to try adding sherry (per a friends instruction), but haven't tried that yet. Today, I read a recipe that called for adding balsamic vinegar, but I haven't tried that either. Near the end of cooking, I take out a cup or so and puree it, then add it back to the pot so it's nice and thick. I serve it over brown rice, although yellow is good too. I top it with hot sauce and chopped onion. Sour cream sounds good, but I don't need the extra calories (I would have to have a huge dollop). Angie's (Opkikid) Black Bean Soup (Angie is from Chicago) This makes a lot � you can cut the recipe in half or more. This can cook all day at a simmer, if you like. � lb bacon 10 carrots, diced 6 cloves garlic, minced � tsp cayenne pepper � cup (yes, cup!) of each: ground cumin and oregano 6 15 oz cans of black beans, drained 5 (20 cups) quarts of chicken broth � cup sherry or white wine...See MoreRECIPE: Recipe Request: Perkins' Restaurant Coconut Cream Pie

Comments (6)This is an orange flavored flourless chocolate cake, for anyone looking for a variation. I have made it several times and it is yummy! Chocolate Cloud Cake 8 oz. (250 g.) bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1/2 cup (125 ml.) unsalted butter 3 eggs 1 cup (250 g.) granulated sugar 2 tbsp. (25 ml.) orange liqueur 1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml.) grated orange rind 3 egg whites TOPPING: 1 1/2 cups (375 ml.) whipping cream 2 tbsp. (25 ml.) powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. (2 ml.) vanilla Line bottom of ungreased 8-inch springform pan with waxed paper; set aside. In bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate with butter, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly. In separate bowl, whisk whole eggs with half of the sugar just until turning pale and starting to thicken; whisk in chocolate mixture, liqueur and orange rind. In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually beat in remaining sugar, 2 tbsp. (25 ml.) at a time, until stiff shiny peaks form. Fold one-quarter into chocolate mixture; fold in remaining whites in two additions. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in center of 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is puffed and starting to crack but center still looks wet. Let cool completely in pan on rack (center will fall, leaving higher sides). (Cake can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 2 days or over-wrapped in foil and frozen for up to 2 weeks.) Run knife around cake to loosen; carefully unmould onto cake plate. TOPPING: In bowl, whip cream with sugar and vanilla; mound in center of cake, swirling lightly. To serve, cut with wet hot knife. Makes 12 servings....See MoreMacaroni salad recipe request
Comments (6)I LOVE macaroni salad and make it very similar to the chicken salad I posted in another thread. Salad macaroni, chopped hard boiled egg, finely chopped celery, chopped black olives (for hubby) and thinly sliced green onion (i only use the green tops but the entired onion can be used). Because i dont care for a tangy macaroni salad, i dont use vinegar or pickle juice, just mayo, salt and pepper as the dressing. I lightly coat the macaroni with mayo because I don't like a gloppy salad, but this is also a matter of personal preference. Cooked bay shrimp is another ingredient I usually include, but they can be left out if desired. One thing about macaroni salad is that it's forgiving and one can pretty much add what they like and leave out what they don't like....See Moreiris_gal
