full disclosure to you, internet: mike and i weren’t looking for a black bean soup recipe when we found this one, nor have we ever made black bean soup before. we just wanted to make some cornbread, and figured we had to eat something else alongside the cornbread to make it a complete meal.
after a fabulous weekend celebrating with our friends and former roommates as they married each other, i completely lost my voice. as i sat in my house voiceless, the first northern california storm of the fall raged outside, and all i wanted to eat was some comfort food. something hearty, filling, easy to make, and above all, delicious.
i know, i know, you’re either sick of tomatoes and corn by now, or you’re wondering why you’d make a chowder in the heat of the end of the summer.
but this soup is so light and so flavorful that you will want to slurp up as much of it as possible, leaving you wondering why you thought you were sick of tomatoes or questioning making soup when it’s warm out!
after making red (ie normal) gazpacho a few weeks ago, i was excited when i found a recipe for white gazpacho – a real twist on the normal kind – in the september issue of vegetarian times.
for my birthday, i received some amazing new cookbooks from my friends and family – they obviously know me very well. since i was gifted the cookbooks, i’ve been perusing through the influx of recipes, trying to decide which dish to make first. since it’s the height of the summer season, i quickly landed on gazpacho as a first recipe to sample from fields of greens, by annie somerville.
