Black Beans, Round 3: Black Bean Soup

Oh. My. Goodness. What a very, very long day today was. Did I say how much I like Kate Nash’s (s**t) song? This day was made so much better when I was able to come home and eat this meal. Hearty, delicious and healthy, this meal was incredible. One of the best parts, it was made yesterday, refrigerated, and then somebody just popped it into the slow cooker to reheat. But really, just like Deb said, you can’t eat this soup without the crema. The crema made it worthwhile and delectable.   And the toasted cumin added in — you must toast!  Cumin can be a bit much for me sometimes, but the cumin seeds were light and accented it wonderfully. Now, I must take a black bean vacation. Highlight number 2, Bonnie had some friends over and her friend Dee mixed up some wicked margaritas. Yep, that’s the way to end a day. Like my photos? Courtesy of, my phone. I specifically like how I artfully doused my soup in cream with a strange likening to a crustacean. I never said I was a professional.
