Hubby's out I cook what I like!!!

I love pork he hates it, fried pork chops yum!! Black bean and chorizo soup for my amigos tomorrow.

Black bean soup

1 lb dry Goya black beans

1 lb chorizo diced

1 large white onion chopped

3 carrots sliced

3 ribs of celery sliced

2-4 serrano chilis sliced

1 14 oz can diced tomatoes

1 4 oz can chipolte sauce

1 tblspn goya abodo

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

2 bay leaves

salt and pepper to taste

water (freebie)

slash of olive oil

add all veggies, chorizo, seasoning, salt, pepper and oil to a large stock pot and saute until chorizo browns and renders some of its fat, add chipolte sauce, diced tomatoes and beans (I do NOT soak but I do rinse) and 8-10 cups of water, bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 5 hours.    

By the way those were the best fried pork chop I've made in a long time, just a squeeze of lemon was all that they needed. 

*note no need to ever soak dried bean before cooking!!! (once again my opinion)
