  • Rinse and sort though black beans, discarding any that are shriveled or discolored. Place beans in a large stockpot. Cover beans with water and refrigerate to soak overnight. Drain beans and return to stockpot. Add stock and heat to boiling.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and saute until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add to stockpot along with oregano, thyme, bay leaf and cayenne pepper. Cover stockpot and reduce heat to simmer for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Transfer soup to blender or food processor and puree to desired thickness.(I don't puree the soup, I just leave it like I would for beans). Just before serving add lime juice and garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro, if desired. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am the descendant from a long line of cooks with style. My favorite memories were times spent in the kitchen with Grandma and Mom. And, now with daughter. Recipes are a legacy given to younger generations that tell a story of a family. <br /><br /><br /><br />Our Family rating system: <br />***** = Hubby called it a Do-Over and I can make it anytime. <br />**** = Hubby said to add it to the rotation <br />*** = Might or might not make it again <br />** = Probably wouldn't make it again. <br />*= I won't ever be making it again. <br /><br />I may like it, but hubby and my daughter might not...I'll let you know when I rate it.</p>
