Soup Is Good Food!




...especially on cold days like these. What warms you up better than a hearty soup?  Jessica Price with Eating Well Magazine stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her Smokey Black Bean Soup.  Jessica told Tonia her secret ingredient is coffee!  It doesn't cause the soup to taste like coffee, but instead gives it a subtle taste that Jessica thinks you'll love.

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

 Jessica takes soaked and dried black beans. And then in a Dutch Oven,  sauté onions, bell peppers celery, jalapenos and garlic. Add some cumin along with water, coffee and a ham hock. Then add the beans and cook.  When the beans get tender, puree the mix a little so the soup get creamy.  Then serve!  Guaranteed, it'll give you a nice warm feeling on a cold day!
