My mother was Cuban and I was raised in south Florida. Adding vinegar at the end of the simmer was something she always did for the whole pot. She didn't add lime during the cooking, but lime wedges, along with diced raw onion were served on the side for those that wanted them. Adding the olive oil at the end to each served bowl depended on how how family budget was going that month. Sometimes yes, but usually no. A bowl of black beans and some Cuban bread was a frequent meal in my childhood.
I found him for a caramel video man do I wish I found him 1st but on my second attempt my caramel was perfect the 1st one had chunks of sugar 😅 the 1st video didn’t mention to have the butter and cream out at room temperature until the end of the video….
I'm from Venezuela, and I grew up eating black beans, pinto beans, lentils, chickpeas... All kinds of beans with rice and avocados from the tree in my grandmother's house. Her secret for the vegetable base was to put white vinegar after the spices, letting the alcohol evaporate and making that acidity give an incredible touch to the vegetable base, cumin and coriander can never be missing. And we give it that dairy touch with grated white cheese, lots of cheese! But sour cream helps too! Your recipe looks delicious, congrats!
John, I have seen so many people (cooks) drain the beans , but that juice has some much flavor in it. And it helps to thicken the soup a little. Don't waste good flavor. But to each their own. Love your videos. God bless you and your family
Wowie! Not only does this look easy and quick to make, it looks very affordable to make. I am very much on a budget and these are stuff I already have and I need to save for a week of dinner and I think I can have enough for a week
I just made this tonight. The recipe went into my (recipe) binder, right away. While it was cooking, husband came in the house and exclaimed how wonderful it smelled (I'd just added the optional smoked paprika). Served it with simple jasmine most basic cilantro rice and all the garnishes featured here. Crusty bread w/Euro butter. WE LOVED IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this recipe. 💓
I'm cuban and the main ingredient for black beans is green peppers we also use onions some garlic not to overpower the flavor of course pepper, oregano vinager, tiny bit of sugar, salt . If you use can beans you don't have to rinse them ( this was a first one for me) I make black beans often but never do I puree some of the beans???? The black bean potage Thickens by the cooking time. Now left over beans you can make black bean puree. Puree them well serve on a soup plate and add a drizzle of olive oil and top with some cilantro. Sometimes chicharrones are added on top for delicious crunch.
This was way too good. I added some bell peppers before the beans but otherwise stuck to the recipe (I did use organic dry beans that I soaked). To die for!!! My husband is cuban and can eat canned goya bean soup 7 times a day if you let him. I was looking for the same taste but something that's not in a tin with hidden ingredients. When I tell you this is 10 times better and healthier it's without exaggeration. This recipe is so good I went back and made another huge batch and canned it. Now I have a full shelf of glass jars filled with delicious soup that can be ready as soon as it's reheated. It was dirt cheap to make and so so so much healthier. I can't thank you enough. Best youtube find this year for sure.
Thank you John. I don't know WHY you're apologizing. Isn't this the whole point of making these videos and recipes, to share your favorite flavors and, in the process, teach us? It doesn't have to be invented or written by you. What makes it authentic is the fact that it comes from the HEART. That's why we LOVE your channel and you teaching us. Sheeeeeesh!! I gotta go rescue things like empty canning jars from the garage now that the tree is off of it. Will make this recipe soon.
Very nice. I make it with dried beans and cook it in a pressure cooker. Add tomatoes and some hot salsa, no cumin. Immersion blender and yogurt garnish with a little chive for color. Looks great and tastes even better. There are all sorts of BB recipes including some that are incredibly complex but which produce spectacular results. I'm lazy and like easy.
@@Biggiiful Perhaps I just don't have a sufficiently precise definition of the word "soup". Is it just a matter of physical consistency? If soups are thin and stews are thick, then my version is more like a stew because I like it thick and often over rice.
I don't know if this is a Honduran thing, but my grandma cooks bacon in the pot, then heats the onions with that oil. Then comes the black beans and stock, it never gets pulsed. After simmering she adds an egg for each person and then serves the black bean soup.
looks very good. I’m from El Salvador and our black bean soup is definitely more runny, less thick. We add rice, sour cream, queso duro (any salty briney cheese such as feta), and pork meat.
YES! Caribbean food! So, a couple of things, I am from Costa Rica, here we eat rice and beans on EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL. And when I say every single meal is even for breakfast. Of course, we pride ourselves to be rice and beans connoisseurs and let me tell you guys, this recipe SLAPS! STAMP OF APPROVAL. As John mentioned, there are variations of this black bean soup thoughout Latin America I guess, but it does have its key components: the black beans, cumin, salt and pepper, and some might say oregano. My familys recipe includes one chicken tight that we braise with the veggies, plenty or hard boiled eggs we add to the soup, as a costarican, our staple: Salsa Lizano (which is worcestershire and it KILLS on any bean recipe, especially chili con carne) and I, like John, add avocado, sour cream, and then as something extra pico de gallo with lots of lime and cilantro. We generally make it from scratch (no canned beans) and with the aqua fava, you could make some refried beans (delicious with patacones) not forgetting to add the secret ingredient (one shot of espresso) OR you can make some traditional costarican breakfast: gallo pinto. OR if feeling a bit more caribbean "rice and beans" (which is the caribbean version WITH coconut oil, yum).
New fan here, just got my book yesterday and made my husband the olive oil cake this past weekend. I've been eating it daily ever since. I never thought of myself as a baker, just a cook so cakes are way out of my comfort zone. You made it 'easy peasy.. olive oil squeezy.' I'm going to add this black bean soup to our menu this week to break out of a cooking rut we are in.
Every Cuban family has a similar recipe. It’s so important that it’s a staple recipe along with the roast pork at everyones Christmas dinner. Everyone makes them like their parents and grandparents taught them. My family added a sprinkle of dried oregano 2-3 bay leaves plus minced red and green peppers to the sofrito along with onions and garlic and a splash of vinegar and red wine at the end. We don’t blend but squish (just a little)the beans a little in the pot with o wooden spoon. If you use the canned beans as a shortcut always rinse them but if you soak them do it overnight. The smart and final brand black beans are excellent. Black beans are made by every Cuban family and they are eaten year round and often served with white rice and plain chips and avocado salad. Yum.(a healthy economical dish)❤
Hello John, I am a huge fan of your recipes. I started following you for your cakes, cookies and desserts. But recently, I've been obsessed with your savory recipes too! I love your miso glazed salmon recipe 😍 Your mashed potato recipe is another favorite of mine! I grew up in India. So these recipes are very new to me but OMG I love them! And the way you teach is just amazing. Even an amateur cook can do a great job if they follow your instructions!! Thank you for everything!
I just made this and it was, by far, the BEST black bean soup I've ever tasted, and that includes soup from restaurants as well as homemade. Thanks, John, for another winner! 😀😁😋😛
I cut the recipe in half so I used only one can, because it's only my husband and me. John K has two growing boys, so he and his hubby would need both cans😆😆@@carolynnadey56
I often add vinegar to soups and stews for a bit of acid. My favorite add, however, is lime juice. Chicken soup or chicken broth with lime juice (for me, a lot thereof) is wonderful. It's a tonic when you're sick.
Sending love from Massachusetts! Love all of your recipies and I so admire your clean bright kitchen and no nonsense approach! Black bean soup is my favorite so I can't wait to make this and i will probably add tomatoes, tumeric and some black pepper for health. Thank you!
My mom has made a particular lentil soup recipe my whole life and a splash of good sherry is a must. Vinegar also works for things like this too. I’m making this for dinner this week now!!
I made this today. I followed everything except I made my own vegetable broth with NO SALT. I finished with the avocado and no fat sour cream. This was THE BOMB!! THE BEST BLACK BEAN SOUP I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! ANNNNND I MADE IT for the first time ever. I LOVE black beans. Your recipe is AWARD WINNING. 🎉❤🎉❤
Lovely...I usually make this using chopped onions ,ginger ,garlic ,tomatoes and sauteeing in oil...The tomatoes imparts the sour factor ...Then add the soaked, rinsed ,boiled beans with chopped coriander leaves, cumin and coriander roasted and blitzed coarsely ,chillies green chopped or paprika ,salt to taste ...I liked the blitzed beans step ..I mash the beans with the potato masher to thicken the gravy ...Add garam masala and butter after simmering for sometime to infuse the flavors and served with coriander leaves or cream..
This bean soup looks absolutely mouth-watering! The flavors and presentation are perfect. I can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe.
I was walking in market last week, noticed that the black beans were calling me to buy them. I left them since I don't know how to cook with them. I mostly use Peruvian. Now I gotta stop by the market again and get those black beans! So excited to go home and try this!! ❤️
I grew up with smooth black bean soup. My mom added a little Sherry topped with a slice of lemon. I would squish my lemon with my spoon to release the juice & mix it in. It’s SO good!
Thank you John for sharing your talent with us, were we can watch you and then go see the written recipe. It rea!ly helps alot. We all learn differently. Your soup came out delicious.
I’m half Romanian, half Hungarian and we top our bean soups with homemade finely shredded fresh horseradish root that’s kept in vinegar/water and salt solution. Even my kids prefer it this way, tangy!
My gosh never thought of using can black beans. Always cooked the dry ones. Took a long time. This is so easy to do. Also never thought of taking two cups out of the soup and blending it up and putting back in the pot with the rest of the soup. Thank you so much for this recipe. And for the tips you share. Just love you and your Lil family. You always make me smile. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you have an instant pot you can make it there very quickly. What I do is make up 1-2# of beans in the IP and freeze the first quart the rest goes pretty fast in my house for topping salads, refried beans, burritos, soup, etc.
Just before seeing this video I had decided to make a black bean soup for dinner tonight. Perfect timing! I’ve known about dressing soup with oil and vinegar - particularly with bean based soups.
This looks delicious. Reminds me in look of chili, which I hate chili. But this has different spices than what is in chili. I will definitely try this.
I’ve been a silent viewer of yours for a few years now and I want to tell you that your recipes are always so so amazing. I usually hate when recipe videos do a lot of talking but I am immersed by your dedication, passion, and talent to cooking/baking. It never feels like the video is being dragged like a lot of cooking videos I watch. Anytime I want to make something I always go straight to your channel ❤❤
I definitely add lime or lemon at the finish of soups which have veggies. Not only do the flavors brighten up, but the veggies keep their shape retaining that bite even after simmering. And they keep some shape even after reheating.
YUM! I have all the things in stock to make this tomorrow! When making my family recipe for Czech potato dill soup- vomacka- I add a dash of cider vinegar before serving, which Mom and Grandma did. When I worked in a restaurant decades ago the secret to their split pea soup was a bit of dry sherry before serving.
I made it this afternoon for lunch and to have the rest of the week and WOW! It's so delicious and came together quickly. Thank you! I also made your blood orange cheesecake for dessert!! I'll let you know how it goes!
I just made this delicious black bean soup! It came out great! I added spinach which worked well Had to use a lemon because I didn't have a lime but that worked too. Served with some shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream on top. Was a hit for sure. I will definitely make again. Thank you! Love your recipes!
I love a great Black Bean Soup. I attempted to make it and used dry black beans several times but I didn't achieve the flavor or texture I was looking for. I look forward to trying your recipe. ❤️
I made this... Happy. I did have to use lemon juice instead of lime and I went a little heavier on some of the spices, AND it came out great. Thank you.
You can use the black bean aqua faba to make mayo and flavour it with something that goes well with the flavour and colour like black garlic or truffle, or go simpler with a chipotle mayo or just black pepper
I never cared for black bean soup before but this recipe was amazing! Just made it and it is perfect. Followed the recipe but also added in some coriander cuz i didn't have any cilantro.
Can you please do a split pea ham soup recipe? I love all your recipes. I always check your page before I try a new recipe and your videos inspire me to try new things! My SO loved your no spread sugar cookie recipe
Delish, I love all these random veg soups, whatever is at hand goes in. I use the water in cans from all my beans in my soups except for fava beans, those I rinse.
I ❤ beans🥰 I like to add beans in different dishes; especially soups. I made your black bean recipe. OMG, it was DELICIOUS 😋🥣 I made a big pot full. Between my daughter and myself, we ate the whole pot with only a small bowl leftover. I didn't want to seem greedy and hide this small tasty bowl. So, as a good mom, I saved it for her. I wanted to make it again the next day, but I don't want to over indulge. I think once a week should be good for now. It was DELICIOUS 😊😍💋👍
Thrilled to discover this as I have too many onions & carrots on hand right now. I am vegetarian & I eat soups all year long. No matter how hot it gets in Florida the soups on! Thanks so much.
Merci de partager vos délicieuses recettes de soupes mon époux aime les soupes hier nous avons dîner avec votre soupe aux haricots noirs Et pour ce soir nous aurons votre soupe de tomates Merci pour toutes vos recettes Au fait, j ai fais les milles feuilles excellente recette! Aussi bons que chez Fauchon place de la Madeleine à Paris que de bons souvenirs vous m’avez donné merci monsieur kanell l
I am from Colombia and we make diferent kinds of beans, white, green ,black,red. They are delicious!! I make white beans with pork rack, delicioso, espectacular!!
I just made a white bean soup yesterday and it's similar to this one. But since a few ingredients are different, then I MUST try this recipe because it looks delicious! All of your food looks good! :)
Not many cooks that I've watched have gone into things like adding an acid like lime or vinegar and why, so kudos to you! I enjoyed your delivery, and the sneaky method of blending some of the soup to make it creamy!
My mother was Cuban and I was raised in south Florida. Adding vinegar at the end of the simmer was something she always did for the whole pot. She didn't add lime during the cooking, but lime wedges, along with diced raw onion were served on the side for those that wanted them. Adding the olive oil at the end to each served bowl depended on how how family budget was going that month. Sometimes yes, but usually no. A bowl of black beans and some Cuban bread was a frequent meal in my childhood.
I love that story, thanks for sharing. My mom also serves with some diced onion and LOTS of cilantro :)
The raw onion on the side sounds awesome!
What does the vinegar bring to the flavor and the same with the olive oil? I would love to take a leap and try it
I am from Tampa and here I learned to substitute vermouth or a shot of dry sherry for the vinegar. It adds something special to it.
@Tim Merrill - What kind of vinegar did your mother add to the soup - red wine or apple cider?
Black beans and avocados are a match made in heaven
Soooo True! My mom makes a meal of them with some salsa and a few chips.
And cilantro!
@PreppyKitchen please show as the recipe❤
His recipes are great and his videos don't waste our time with long introductions and irrelevant ramblings - much better than most cooking videos!!
i agree ,and why i follow his videos he is the best
I found him for a caramel video man do I wish I found him 1st but on my second attempt my caramel was perfect the 1st one had chunks of sugar 😅 the 1st video didn’t mention to have the butter and cream out at room temperature until the end of the video….
I’m so glad you gave us a recipe for black beans. We love them and this soup is so healthy. I would love more recipes like this. Thanks, John.
I’m Cuban . I’m so glad your making this. Yummy!! 🇨🇺 🇺🇸
I'm from Venezuela, and I grew up eating black beans, pinto beans, lentils, chickpeas... All kinds of beans with rice and avocados from the tree in my grandmother's house.

Agreed. Keeping the beans undrained eliminates the blender step.
Wowie! Not only does this look easy and quick to make, it looks very affordable to make. I am very much on a budget and these are stuff I already have and I need to save for a week of dinner and I think I can have enough for a week
I am Dominican and we do something similar with Pinto Beans to eat with white rice. Lots of cilantro 🌿 makes it particularly exquisite.
Yummy
I hate pinto beans.
Sounds delish!
Delicioso! Dame un chin! 🙂
Yeah; that is if you like Cilantro; cannot stand the stuff.

Correct me if im wrong, but it doesn't sound like you made black bean SOUP at all....just a different black bean recipe/meal.....

looks very good. I’m from El Salvador and our black bean soup is definitely more runny, less thick. We add rice, sour cream, queso duro (any salty briney cheese such as feta), and pork meat.
YES! Caribbean food!

Thank you! I lived in Costa Rica for a month and LOVED all the black beans... so I'm glad this gets a Costa Rican seal of approval! Trying it today.
I made this yesterday. Blending a part of it was an important step, I wouldn't skip it. The soup was delicious 😋
New fan here, just got my book yesterday and made my husband the olive oil cake this past weekend. I've been eating it daily ever since.

Hello John,
I am a huge fan of your recipes. I started following you for your cakes, cookies and desserts. But recently, I've been obsessed with your savory recipes too! I love your miso glazed salmon recipe 😍 Your mashed potato recipe is another favorite of mine! I grew up in India. So these recipes are very new to me but OMG I love them! And the way you teach is just amazing. Even an amateur cook can do a great job if they follow your instructions!! Thank you for everything!

I just made this and it was, by far, the BEST black bean soup I've ever tasted, and that includes soup from restaurants as well as homemade. Thanks, John, for another winner! 😀😁😋😛
How many cans of beans did you add?
I cut the recipe in half so I used only one can, because it's only my husband and me. John K has two growing boys, so he and his hubby would need both cans😆😆@@carolynnadey56
I cooked this to today and it was amazing. The whole family liked it. It's full of flavor.
Hey John, just out of curiosity, could you feature more vegan/vegetarian recipes? Love this black bean soup 🍵
Agree, more vegan recipes please!
❤love this! You make every recipe seems so easy and inviting😃👍🏾
Thanks so much 😊 Hope you enjoy!
Love this soup, definitely must have Lime , Cilantro, also like sour cream, Avocado and raw onions for garnish .
Exactly. And I have the same cutting board. Check out our recipes and reviews.
I often add vinegar to soups and stews for a bit of acid. My favorite add, however, is lime juice. Chicken soup or chicken broth with lime juice (for me, a lot thereof) is wonderful. It's a tonic when you're sick.
Cooking is an art, the one thing you need to do well is an imagination.

I just made this bean soup tonight, and it was AMAZING! Thank you! 👏
Bean soup is sooo good! We add protein to it, either eggs or usually pork ribs, so good!
I have a feeling this is going to become a go-to recipe for me! Looks so good! 🤤❤
Hope you enjoy!! It's so easy and tasty!
It is in our house, we love Cuban black bean soup with fresh made bread
This bean soup looks absolutely mouth-watering! The flavors and presentation are perfect. I can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe.
I was walking in market last week, noticed that the black beans were calling me to buy them. I left them since I don't know how to cook with them. I mostly use Peruvian. Now I gotta stop by the market again and get those black beans!
So excited to go home and try this!! ❤️
Get those beans!
Those black beans are good as gold! I really hope you enjoy the soup!
I love that the Dutch oven is purple. Fits right in to the decor 😀 I'm gonna have to get one now 🤫
I have a pink one
I grew up with smooth black bean soup. My mom added a little Sherry topped with a slice of lemon. I would squish my lemon with my spoon to release the juice & mix it in. It’s SO good!
Love seeing a vegetarian meal! My mouth was watering and now I need to make additions to my shopping list...
Thank you John for sharing your talent with us, were we can watch you and then go see the written recipe. It rea!ly
helps alot. We all learn differently. Your soup came out delicious.
Very nice. Also with some oregano and cumin to spice it up, and allspice. Just suggestions. My family also added red vinegar.
I love ALL those suggestions! Thank you!!!
Yeah! I'm gonna make this for my weekend for myself! And I do drizzle most of my soups with olive oil right before serving 😋
I’m half Romanian, half Hungarian and we top our bean soups with homemade finely shredded fresh horseradish root that’s kept in vinegar/water and salt solution. Even my kids prefer it this way, tangy!

I made this Amazing soup for lunch today!!! So delicious, quick, easy!! And my heritage is Scandinavian…no vinegar or olive oil to finish a dish.😊
I just made this delicious black bean soup! It came out great! I added spinach which worked well Had to use a lemon because I didn't have a lime but that worked too.

Make the soup.sooooo delicious. Love the lime juice in it. Thanks for recipe.
I love a great Black Bean Soup. I attempted to make it and used dry black beans several times but I didn't achieve the flavor or texture I was looking for. I look forward to trying your recipe. ❤️
Looks delicious, I will definitely try this recipe, thank you ❤
So glad I found your channel! Your cooking is entertaining and easy to follow. I need these kinds of recipes. I am impressed at your technique.
Make the soup 3 times already. Absolutely delicious.
Yum, just made this for tonight’s dinner and it is so delicious I may have it for lunch. Thank you
I still make this soup. Still loving it!
This is the best black bean soup that I ever encountered. It becomes our ultimate soup Thank you John for sharing!
*YOU HAVE TO TRY SHAHI TUKDA. ITS AN INDIAN DESSERT. SUPER EASY TO MAKE AND ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.*
I found some black beans last night and was just wondering “what should I do with it?”. You must be reading my mind! Thank you so much!! 😘🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just made this soup while watching and oh my……. It’s delicious. Thank you. Love every recipe I tried of yours.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this recipe and your clear easy presentation! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow
Made it today. Worked very well and reminiscient of the soups we had in Colombia and Costa Rica. Thank you John❤
I made this... Happy. I did have to use lemon juice instead of lime and I went a little heavier on some of the spices, AND it came out great. Thank you.
You can use the black bean aqua faba to make mayo and flavour it with something that goes well with the flavour and colour like black garlic or truffle, or go simpler with a chipotle mayo or just black pepper
Cool! Thanks for the info!
I make this every other week, I love it so much. Thanks, John.
I just made this today! This is a total HIT delicioso!!! Adding the lime juice made a big difference in flavor!!! Yum!!!
btw love it when you refer back to your Mum's cooking, how she must have inspired you as a young lad...xx
Oooh this will be a must-try. I love black bean soup!! Can I use an immersion blender and just eyeball it?
Sure! It'll just take a little more time.
I never cared for black bean soup before but this recipe was amazing! Just made it and it is perfect. Followed the recipe but also added in some coriander cuz i didn't have any cilantro.
Can you please do a split pea ham soup recipe? I love all your recipes. I always check your page before I try a new recipe and your videos inspire me to try new things! My SO loved your no spread sugar cookie recipe
I just followed your recipe for dinner and it’s delicious!
Yay! I'm so Glad you liked it!!
love how you were all over the place with your words and forming sentences in this one hahaha you are so funny and endearing to watch
I love this recipe so much I'm making it today 💝 thank you 😊
Good tip about the amount of salt! You can always add more, but you can't take it back after the fact!
I added red bell pepper the first time - good choice. This time I’m adding one and I’m also adding a jalapeño
Made this today, and it was delicious! Thanks for a keeper recipe.
Delish, I love all these random veg soups, whatever is at hand goes in. I use the water in cans from all my beans in my soups except for fava beans, those I rinse.
This recipe is amazing!!! 😍 Loved it!! Thank you! 😊
I ❤ beans🥰 I like to add beans in different dishes; especially soups. I made your black bean recipe. OMG, it was DELICIOUS 😋🥣 I made a big pot full. Between my daughter and myself, we ate the whole pot with only a small bowl leftover. I didn't want to seem greedy and hide this small tasty bowl. So, as a good mom, I saved it for her. I wanted to make it again the next day, but I don't want to over indulge. I think once a week should be good for now. It was DELICIOUS 😊😍💋👍
Made this for my husband and he loved it❤
Thrilled to discover this as I have too many onions & carrots on hand right now. I am vegetarian & I eat soups all year long. No matter how hot it gets in Florida the soups on! Thanks so much.
I’m jealous of your purple pot!!!! So pretty! 💜💜💜

I am from Colombia and we make diferent kinds of beans, white, green ,black,red. They are delicious!!
I make white beans with pork rack, delicioso, espectacular!!
I just made a white bean soup yesterday and it's similar to this one. But since a few ingredients are different, then I MUST try this recipe because it looks delicious! All of your food looks good! :)
Thank you very much! I make mine without the lime (now I will try it) and with a couple of pieces of rendered bacon and some minced bell pepper.
Not many cooks that I've watched have gone into things like adding an acid like lime or vinegar and why, so kudos to you! I enjoyed your delivery, and the sneaky method of blending some of the soup to make it creamy!
That purple/violet pot is gorgeous.
