Ultimate Black Bean and Rice Soup image

When I had my liver transplant in Denver, CO there was a Gunther Toody's Diner across the street from the hotel where I stayed. There was a Black Bean Soup on the menu that I just loved. After coming home to Oklahoma, I have searched, in vain, for a Black Bean Soup that came even close to what the diner served. I finally searched recipes and have come up with my version that best copies Gunther Toody's.

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large onion, chopped finely
2 celery ribs, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, like Hunts
1 (11 ounce) can mexicorn, drained
1 cup instant rice
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
32 ounces low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In Dutch Kettle, saute onion, celery, carrot, garlic, red pepper and jalepeno pepper in olive oil until soft.
  • Add beans, tomatoes, corn, water, boullion broth and spices. Simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  • Add instant rice to mixture. Mix well. Continue cooking 5 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • Chop fresh cilantro and stir into mixture before serving. Could top with a dollop of sour cream on top and a squeeze of lime.
  • Use Hunts diced tomatoes with green chilies or a similar brand. Rotel comes in a 10.5 oz can and is much spicer than Hunts. So if you use Rotel, pair it with a can of regular diced tomatoes.
