Carib Black Bean Soup image

A creamy soup with a touch of Caribbean flavor. Uncle Bill's Tips: If using canned beans, reduce cooking time to 40 minutes after adding the beans. You may also use 2 (7.5 ounce) cans flaked ham if you desire a different flavor. Add ham to cooking pot after adding broth.

This soup was a disaster! The beans were hard as rocks and the soup was way too spicy. I had to throw the whole thing out.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the beans were a bit too firm for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices and cooked the beans for a longer period of time.
