I started with dried beans (boiled, then set aside for an hour or so and drained) and it worked out very nicely.

Thanks so much Kristin, I'll give it a try, both the dried beans and using less water!

They always seem a deeper, inkier black to me. Or just reduce the amount of stock or water you're adding? Though that would lead to a very thick "soup." Those are my only thoughts. Good luck!

I wasn't overly happy with mine, so inspired after reading about your perseverance, I'll try yours soon! Can I ask a question? This is about the way black bean soup usually looks: a while ago I saw a picture (no recipe) in an old glossy magazine, of a cup of black bean soup, that looked really, really black - very pretty, and I've wondered ever since how they managed to get it so dark. All they said was that it was an asian style black bean soup, so maybe they put in a dark soy sauce or something. But I don't know, so would love to hear your ideas about that! Thanks, and good luck with the blog! Inga Hi there,

To get a full taste however, you would have to simmer for about an hour. It would also compliment the bacon. It is a much nicer taste than liquid smoke.

It should read (as it now does): 2 teaspoons (undivided) in both places in the recipe. Pete: My apologies. It should read (as it now does): 2 teaspoons (undivided) in both places in the recipe.
