Directions
DIRECTIONS:
Rinse beans and sort. Soak overnight. Drain. Rinse.
In an extra large saucepan place the black beans, chicken stock, bay leaves, onions, garlic, and carrots.
Simmer the ingredients for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beans are tender.
Remove the bay leaves. Add more chicken stock or water if needed.
Strain the beans (reserve the liquid) and place them in a food processor.
Blend the beans, adding enough of the reserved liquid so that a thick, puréed consistency is achieved.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir them in so that they are well blended.
Garnish the soup servings with a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle on the cilantro and the tomatoes.
