I haven't tried this one yet but I saw it in one of my recipe books and thought it looked good. So I'm gonna make it today.
BLACK-EYE BEAN SOUP (serves four)
INGREDIENTS:
1 can of black-eyed beans (peas)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium hot or 2-3 mild fresh chillies, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
250g canned chopped tomatoes
600ml/1 pint/2 1/2 cups chicken, beef or vegetable stock
Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped (or a few sprinkles of dried)
Juice of half a lemon
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions, garlic, and chillies and cook for 5 mins, or until the onion is soft. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, tomatoes, stock, half the coriander and the beans and simmer for 20-30 mins. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining coriander and serve.
*NOTE* It actually says to use dried beans in the book, but I can't be arsed with all that soaking over night business. One 250g can equates to about the same amount anyway. But if anyone wants directions on the soaking I'll put it up.
