I've been making it for years. You can turn the heat up or down depending on the amount of Jalapeno. Put some tortilla chips on the side and kids gobble it up.         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2011   This was a great recipe. I accidentally put in too much water at the end, but saved it with a natural food thickening powder. I put sour cream as a garnish, which tasted great but obviously has more fat. Thanks!

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cooked ham in one 1/2-inch-thick slice 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 small red onion, finely chopped 1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat, if desired), plus more for garnish (optional) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 3 cans black beans (15 ounces each), drained and rinsed 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, plus sprigs for garnish (optional) 1 lime, quartered (optional)

Directions

In a large pot (6 to 8 quarts), brown ham over medium-high heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Heat oil. Add onion, and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and oregano; cook, stirring, until fragrant and garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add beans and 4 cups water. Simmer 10 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in cilantro leaves. Using an immersion or regular blender (work in batches so as not to fill regular blender more than halfway), puree soup until smooth. Add more water to thin soup, if desired.

Ladle soup into bowls. Cut ham into 1/2-inch cubes; sprinkle over soup. Garnish with jalapeno, cilantro sprigs, and lime wedges, as desired.
