Cuban Black Bean Soup With Cod (Crock Pot)
"Any firm, white fish can be substituted for the cod. I think this originally was printed in Shape magazine. The recipe says it serves four, but this really makes a lot of soup!"

Didn't care for this but that's why they make chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. -
I love this soup! I made it twice. The second time, I wound up using over seasoned cod fish that I stored in the freezer until it was time to cook this soup. I also used two cans of diced tomatoes and chillies, and I used all the required seasons except I seasoned to my tastes. It was very spicy. My family loved it!

I thought this was good, but not great. It was a bit thin and a tad bland. (I like hearty soups.) However - I might have been a bit light on the spices, as I was running out of cumin. It tasted better on the second day. Next time I might try replacing some of the broth with another can of tomatoes, to thicken it up a bit. I got 6 BIG servings out of this recipe. It is such a healthy combination of foods ... I will try it again for that reason alone!

Used a can of black beans - because I had them, 1 tsp balsamic (real balsamic), didn't have red wine vinegar. Additional oregano - didn't have thyme. Also I used 2 thai green chilis, same reason - that's what I had. Simmered medium on the stove top for and hour or so.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
