Best 2 Brazilian Black Bean Soup Recipes
In the vibrant culinary landscape of Brazilian cuisine, feijoada reigns supreme as a hearty and flavorful black bean soup, deeply rooted in the nation's history and culture. This beloved dish, often served over rice, embodies the essence of Brazilian comfort food. Its rich broth, simmered with tender black beans, succulent meats, and an array of aromatic spices, captivates the senses and warms the soul. Accompanying the feijoada is a symphony of traditional sides, each playing a harmonious role in the overall experience. Crispy fried plantains, known as tostones, provide a delightful textural contrast, while the vibrant and refreshing couve, a sautéed collard greens dish, adds a healthy dimension. To enhance the meal's flavors, farofa, a toasted manioc flour, is sprinkled on top, offering a nutty and earthy touch. And for those who crave a bit of heat, the fiery malagueta pepper sauce stands ready to ignite the taste buds.

BRAZILIAN BLACK BEAN SOUP
Steps:
- Rinse the beans. Cover them with water, and let them soak several hours (at least 4) or overnight. Pour off excess water from beans. Place beans in saucepan with 3 1/2 cups water or stock and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer 1 1/2 hours over very low heat. Saute onions and garlic in oil. Then add carrot, celery and green pepper. Add a little water to the vegetables to steam them along. Add the coriander and cumin. When everything seems just as it should be, add saute to the beans. Let the soup continue to simmer over lowest possible heat. Add oranges, orange juice, sherry, black pepper, red pepper and lemon juice to soup. Give it a stir, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. If you wish to thin, add water; if you wish to thicken, puree some or all of the soup in a blender. Serve topped with sour cream or yogurt.
Tips:
- Soak the black beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include onions, garlic, peppers, carrots, and celery.
