Ingredients
2 cup dried black beans
1 medium onion; finely diced
3 tablespoon butter or oil
1 small carrot; peeled and finely diced
1 celery stalk; finely diced
6 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 ham hock
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 sour cream
1 chopped fresh dill
Cooking Directions:
This is a great Central and South American favorite that can be used as the base for many other recipes.
THE NIGHT BEFORE, place beans in a bowl, cover with 3 inches of water and soak at least 8 hours or up to 10. Or, for a quick-cook method, place beans in hot water for 1 hour before continuing with the recipe. Combine onion and oil in a 2-quart pot over medium heat on top of the stove and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and cook another 5 minutes. Add the drained beans, stock, ham hock, thyme. Cover, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to low and cook, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. Place beans and liquid in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree back into the pot and add lemon juice and sherry. Place a dollop of sour cream in each soup bowl and sprinkle with some chopped fresh dill. Pour the piping hot soup at the table.
