    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/10/2011   I added bacon (my weakness and first love) and chili powder. I also didn't puree the beans, and it was delicious. Definitely use the lime, it adds the perfect flavor. My husband said it was the best black bean soup he ever had. Thanks, Martha!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/21/2011   I really love this recipe but I've adapted it to suit my taste. I make the Garlic-Pepper Sauce per the recipe and love keeping it for other dishes too. When it comes to the soup I add about 1/2 C of salsa or a can of diced tomatoes to the recipe and then taste after I have the beans, sofrito, tomatoes and stock to add more cumin or oregano, s&p to taste. Then you blend the whole thing and serve it with lime juice, sour cream, cilantro and taco chips on the side.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/25/2011   This is a great soup. It is so simple but taste delicious! Be sure to add the lime juice and some sour cream though before you serve it, as is suggested.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/27/2009   This is a great soup! The best part is the garlic-pepper sauce which I cannot wait to use for other recipes. I can imagine it ice cold as a salsa for tortilla chips or maybe as a condiment for Dorado or Merluza.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/26/2009   You can buy the Sofrito sauce, ie Garlic Pepper sauce in the freezer section of grocery stores. Its available in the Market Basket stores here in Massachusetts.
