    To make this dish really special, saute some chopped pancetta or bacon with the veggies. Delicious when served with lime drenched salsa. I served this as midweek 'food for friends.'

    Very simple, and yet tasty - although I did tweak the recipe a bit. I added two chopped red chillis (with seeds) whilst frying off the veg, practically quadrupled the amount of ground cumin, added cumin seeds and ground coriander at the spice stage too, as well as some tinned sweetcorn right near the end. The result was a fabulously warming think soup that was lovely with toasted wholemeal pitta breads.

    Added garlic and a red chilli and upped the cumin, we're used to fairly strong flavours so it needed it for us. This is a really good soup though with minimum ingredients which I would usually have in anyway, though was I struggling to get tinned black beans so I used dried which takes a bit more planning. However I've now cooked a packet and measured off into amounts equivalent to a tin and popped in bags in freezer so I'm ready to go! 280g btw, is about what you'd get out of a tin, drained weight beans in case anyone else is having same problem.
