I love black beans straight from the can and use them in burritos and
soft tacos. I have had black bean soup that I loved too... it was
called "Cuban" black bean soup and the person who fed it to me said
the she followed the recipe on the bag. I haven't seen a recipe for
what she described to me. No potatoes were involved, in fact I have no
idea why any decent bean soup recipe would call for potatoes.
