i LOVE this recipe. it's so quick, easy and hella tasty! you can halve this for a hearty one serving. run the fan when browning the seasonings. it's a little pungent and makes me cough if i'm not careful.
Puerto Rican-style black bean soup
serves two

1 tablespoon caribbean jerk seasoning blend
2 15- to 16-ounce cans caribbean-style or regular black beans, drained (now, i've never seen "carribbean-style black beans" in the store. i usually get goya)
1 1/4 cups canned vegetable broth (you can also use chicken broth; i've used both)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
lime wedges

Stir 1 tablespoon seasoning blend in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until fragrant and slightly darker in color, about 4 minutes. Transfer seasoning to processor. Add black beans, vegetable broth and olive oil to processor and purée until mixture is almost smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Transfer purée to same saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Mix in lime juice. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.
