hey, this was okay! (black bean soup)
My increasing frustration at my landlady decreases my desire to cook nice things when I have to share food with her. So I was ready to make a simple chili-like concoction with the ingredients I had on hand: black beans, canned tomato, carrots, green pepper...but suprisingly, it came out well! Better than chili I've made before. Maybe you can read the ingredients list and tell me why it tasted so good:
- 1/2 of a pretty big onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- vegetable oil
- several baby carrots, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can whole tomatoes
- 3-4 cups water (I think)
- 1 bay leaf, some cumin, 2-3 dried whole chilis, salt, pepper, oregano (I think that was it?)
- lime juice
I think it would be tasty without the blending, too...And I think some fresh cilantro might be a really nice garnish!

maybe it was the lime juice? and the whole chilis? i tend to use chili powder when i make chili, and maybe whole chilis are better?
