Black bean soup from Appetites: A Cookbook (page 47) by Anthony Bourdain

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I found this recipe. Very easy to make. I had to cook the black beans a little longer than expected, but that’s fine. A lot of deep flavors. I would gladly make this again!

    Outstanding! So easy. So rich in flavor. Loved it!

    I added more carrot and otherwise stuck to the recipe. Next time I would not shred the carrot but medium dice instead. I also think that the dry chorizo was too overpowering and next time I will use fresh chorizo which has a milder, less smoky flavor. I added more water at the end as I wanted more of a soup consistency and less thickness.

    I would make this again with half as much chorizo and chopped much smaller. The cubes of chewy chorizo didn’t integrate well and were overpowering. Update: I've made a version of this at least five times and really enjoy it. I make this with two links of fresh chorizo, either Spanish or Mexican. I like this much better than using dry chorizo. I agree with the other reviewer that it doesn't make an enormous quantity, but it would be easy to double if you wanted a lot of leftovers or were feeding a crowd.

    Really delicious black bean soup recipe (although it doesn't produce quite as much soup as I was expecting), and the recipe isn't too fussy or overly complicated. The flavor combination of the sherry vinegar and chorizo is really nice.
