Black Bean Soup With Lime Recipes

Steps:

• Sweat the onions and half of the garlic in two tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss in the Cumin, Chile Powder, and Salt and Pepper. Cook for about three minutes on medium-high heat.
• Peel, devein, and rinse the shrimp. Zest and juice the limes into a bowl and add the rest of the olive oil and garlic. Add the red pepper flakes to the bowl. Toss the shrimp in and allow to marinade.
• Add the black beans to the onion mixture and mash about half of them. Add the tomatoes, Tobasco, veggie broth, and half and half. Stir until well mixed. Allow to come to a bubble and then lower the heat to simmer. Let the soup simmer for about 12 minutes.
• In the mean time, cook the shrimp on both sides in a pan (no oil or butter) about two to three minutes a side. After you flip the shrimp, pour in the lime juice mixture to the pan to help "steam" the shrimp. You be the judge on when they're fully cooked.
• Ladle out the soup into a bowl and add five shrimp to the bowl. You can add more salt or pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Put black beans, pork ribs, water, rum, garlic head halves, onion, salt, bay leaves, oregano, cumin, and crushed red pepper in a slow cooker; cover and cook on LOW until the beans are tender and the meat is falling off the rib bones, about 8 hours.
• Remove the ribs from the soup. Using a handheld immersion blender, partially puree the soup until it is creamy but still has some texture from whole beans. (Or puree half the soup in a blender and stir it back into the slow cooker.) Pull the meat from the rib bones, shredding it into large pieces, and stir it into the soup.
• Mojo: Put the garlic and olive oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and salt and set aside until ready to serve.
• Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and drizzle each serving with some mojo. Pass the remaining mojo.

Steps:

• In a 5-quart kettle simmer ham hock in 3 quarts water, covered, 1 hour. Add beans, onion, and bay leaf and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour, or until beans are just tender. Stir in tomatoes with juice, salt, and remaining cup water and simmer soup 45 minutes, or until beans are tender. Soup may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely, and chilled, covered.
• Remove ham hock and reserve for another use. Discard bay leaf and stir in lime juice to taste. Divide soup among 8 bowls and garnish with lime slices.

Steps:

• Set a multi-cooker to the saute function. Add the lard or butter and melt. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over the chili powder, cumin and salt. Stir and cook for about a minute. Add the beans and pour in the broth.
• Put on the lid and set the valve to sealing. Set to pressure cook on manual for 50 minutes.
• Once the pressure-cook cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the steam using quick release.
• Remove the lid and add the lime juice. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is a good mix of smooth and textured. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add some additional broth to thin it.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with the red onion, cilantro, tomato, sour cream, avocado and lime wedges.
