SPICY BLACK BEAN SOUP FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté carrots, onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, until soft and fairly dry. Don't brown. Add sherry and cook until it is fully absorbed, a minute or two. Add jalapeños, chipotle chilies, adobo sauce and cumin. Cook, stirring, for a minute or so.
• Add beans, stock, oregano and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook uncovered for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until the beans are tender. If the broth gets too thick, add a little water from time to time. After one hour of cooking, add 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Finish the soup: Depending on how thin the broth is, you may choose to purée or mash some of the soup to create a thicker, creamier broth. I like to purée about 1/3 of the soup, right in the pot, using an immersion blender. A potato masher also works well.
• Taste and correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a teaspoon or two of red wine vinegar to brighten the flavors. For more heat, stir in more adobo sauce.
• Serve soup hot in deep bowls garnished with your favorite toppings.

SPICY BLACK BEAN SOUP WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chipotle pepper, chili powder and ground cumin and cook, stirring, for an additional 30 seconds. Add the vegetable broth, black beans and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Add the lime zest and juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Use a spoon to create 4 small wells in the soup. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully drop one egg into each of the wells. Cover and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 5 minutes. Top with the fresh cilantro and scoop 1 egg into each of 4 bowls, then divide the rest of the soup among the bowls and serve.
