Tonight's dinner was supposed to be a Black Bean Soup that I read about on the Eats Well With Others blog at http://www.joanne-eatswellwithothers.com/. That plan quickly fell apart because a) there was no mango juice to be had in this entire snow-struck town, and b) I realized that the recipe called for four ingredients that at least one member of my family won't go near (cooked peppers, cooked tomatoes, cilantro, and cloves). SIGH. I'll eat just about anything. But there are some picky eaters in my household.
<br />
<br />The beans were soaking away happily so there was no turning back. (Not that I wanted to, I was pretty excited about the hearty bean soup thing, especially after braving the cold to find mango juice.) So I decided to create my own version. It turned out really good. If you care to check out the original recipe on Eats Well With Others at http://www.joanne-eatswellwithothers.com/, you'll see lots of similarities (and MUCH prettier photos; mine just didn't come out very good). Thanks for the inspiration, Joanne.
