I came across a recipe for this and it looked like it was worth
trying. The recipe called for 4 cans of black beans and was supposed to
serve 9, a strange number. There is only the two of us here, so I cut
it back to one can of beans and adjusted the other ingredients
accordingly. It Was delicious. He also had chicken quesadillas.

The soup was so good I wish I had made the full recipe so I could have
it for lunches for the rest of the week.

so strange that they think that tiny amount of hot pepper
sauce would even be noticeable in that large amount of other
ingredients (pepper flakes, chopped jalapeno, chili powder,
pepper...).

i'm acclimated enough that i wouldn't notice it until you
got up to about half a cup.

I added quite a bit more for my 1/4 recipe than they called for in the
full recipe. I also used a whole jalapeno where they wanted one for
four times the amount.

Some grocery stores sell jalapeños individually and people pocket them without paying. So they package them 7 or 8 at a time.

I had a pack of the real skinny peppers and my dad thought they were
string beans when he was snacking out of my fridge.

Perhaps in the ghetto in which you live. I can buy a single jalapeno.

I'm sure sites like that err on the side of caution. You can always
adjust the seasonings to make make something more spicy; it's harder to
tone it down if you over season.

Given what the nutrition information looked like, I'd guess they measured
the volume of the finished soup and figured out it was 9 cups, so 9 servings.
Or estimated the volume based on the ingredients.

I looked around and there are lots of similar recipes, mostly with minor
variations. I used just one can for this one and it made three good
servings.... so I know what's for lunch today.
