My mother has been cooking Cuban Black Bean Soup for our family for years. As my father says 'It just takes like candy, it is so good!'. I decided that I would substitute the black beans for lentils and give it a whirl. The dish came out well and had great flavor. The toppers of dark rum, sour cream and chopped green onions really make the dish, but they obviously can be left out if someone in your family does not like them. The chorizo can also be subbed for pork sausage, if you do not have access to chorizo. Enjoy!
