i was in denial about autumn being here for quite some time. i was hoping for an indian summer, but that was wishful thinking. it’s getting chilly. i wore tights for the first time this week and was certain i’d be burning up, but nope, i was totally comfortable. we made our first batch of soup for the season. josh emailed me this black bean soup and toasted cumin recipe from smitten kitchen. my friend anna was visiting with her kiddos and we made this soup together. she’s a farmer and a really great cook and she doesn’t normally follow recipes. she said she’s glad we did as the cumin crème fraîche was delicious. we mostly followed the recipe, except we soaked the black beans overnight, (which made them cook a lot quicker an hour and a half instead of 3 hours) we didn’t have chipotle so we used crushed red pepper. also, ours wasn’t vegetarian my friend suggested we sauté pastured bacon with the veggies. man, it was good! we made some natural brown rice and drizzled a bit on top. anyone have any soup their looking forward to making? more soup here. image and recipe via
I LOVE THAT ITS GETTING CHILLY, indian summer = migranes
terrible idea to read this post before lunch tho :/
Yum! I love me some black been soup! I love making ribolita and any type of squash soup is always yummy. My favorite reason for fall is soup!
Xo,cb
I enjoy a nice bowl of black bean soup during the winter, so I must give this recipe a try. Plus, cumin crème fraîche sounds really good.
that does sound so good! good fall dish. i’m excited for fall
I’m Going to Try Pumpkin soup this year..I had it one time and loved it!
It’s starting to get chilly out here, too. No tights yet, but soon.
That black bean soup looks delicious. It’s definitely going on my list of things to make this fall. I made soup last week, this corn and potato soup with queso fresco: http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2012/9/11/good-taste-corn-potato-soup-with-queso-fresco.html I mostly followed the recipe, and it was really good. I made my own queso fresco, too, which was surprisingly easy.
i think the only time i have tried black bean soup was in the casa we stayed in in Cuba. You really do not get it here and I loved it. Perfect recipe for the rainy weather we are having at the minute
xox

ugh i’ve been craving black bean soup lately, I’m going to have to make this! And it’s funny, I wish that we could trade places (weather wise). It only seems to get hotter in California–what I’d give to be able to wear a cardigan right now!! :X
I must say that I too have been hoping that both fall and winter will hold out well after I arrive in NY. But I guess it’s time for me to get that winter coat aka a long wool blanket with sleeves.
It’s funny, just the other day I made a coconut curry soup that even I was surprised by how delicious it turned out. I really am beyond excited to spend some time with you and to share ideas about food, clothes, hair and life!
I am excite!
that looks amazingly delicious. i’ve never had black bean soup! and i’m very jealous of your chilly weather. hoping it reaches me soon in California!
