Spicy Black Bean Soup with Wild Shrimp
Are you feeling the chill in the air these days? It’s about that time for food that warms your bones and by that I mean it’s soup time. In this economy soups and stews are perfect for feeding large families or in my case, perfect for having left overs often feeding us for a couple days.
This recipe is inspired from our friend, Elizabeth, who made a large pot of it for a dinner party. She actually grilled the shrimp on the bbq but as you’ll see here, you can just drop them into the soup to cook. Either way, this is a delicious hearty soup that’s not only amazingly easy to make but also easy on the wallet.
