Mmm, perfectly flavoured black bean soup. My favourite part was the rum. I'm pretty sure I've never given anything with rum in it less than five stars.

This was a little too thin for my taste, I like my bean soups on the thick side, but that's personal preference and easily fixed next time I make this soup. I topped this with a little basil-cashew sour cream I made from the Artful Vegan, which made this soup that much more amazing!

Rum in black bean soup sounds interesting! I have this book but haven't done much with it. It seems so big and overwhelming to me. Maybe I'll let you find all the good stuff in it for me. :-)

I'm curious about the rum now too! It's not something I've ever cooked with.

I love rum so hard! Bittman said to you either sheerry or rum, so I obviously picked rum. Now I'm thinking I might never use sherry again! It's not a very rummy tasting soup or anything though. The rum is just to deglaze the pan basically.

I do not always like the flavor that sherry imparts - so I'm also intrigued by cooking with rum. This is an idea I'm going to store away, and hope to be able to retrieve when black bean soup weather returns in a few months.

This is too thin and soupy for my liking but has a good taste. Next time I will use less liquid. I also think I used too much onion. I like onions, but there seemed to be more onion than beans!
