  Great recipe! I made it for my hubby when he had the flu and it did the trick. I felt that it needed a touch of tomato, so I used 300 ml of stock and substituted the rest with a can of chopped tomatoes. Yummy!

  Really hearty and warming soup, we loved it - it tastes like fajhita soup. I also added a touch of tomato puree to thicken the liquid. It was fab. The only thing I would say is do not be tempted to skip the lime - I think it's a vital ingredient here. I served it with toasted bread cut into triangles but think it would work well with strips of toasted pitta bread too or couscous. So easy to make, a healthy supper in 15 min, Jamie Oliver eat your heart out!!

  My family love this, especially my son. I have used butter beans instead of black beans and it is just as good.

  We liked this one a lot - good flavour. We added a tin of chopped toms for substance and flavour and used butter beans instead of the black variety. Prep time was much more than 5 minutes though - dicing peppers, onion and chorizo ain't a quick process for me!

  Very nice and filling soup, sadly 5 mins prep was pushing it for me, but end result was worth the chopping. I did add a small tin of tomatoes into the mix, replacing some of the stock and it made it more like stew. (I did not have any veg stock either so added chicken) Smoky from the chorizo, tangy from the lime.

  Added some chickpeas too. Will use less cumin next time I think. Tin of toms is an important addition- good tip, Ta. The kids made this with me and now they want it in their lunch food flasks- brilliant.

  Not bad, made this first whilst a wee bit drunk and consequently didn't eat any of it! :) Partner said it was good though. Eating it as we speak and I do like it- I did add a red chilli and some cajun seasoning, plus I couldn't get tinned black beans so ended up soaking dried beans for several days and using those (they had germinated at that point!) All in all , if you tweak it a bit it is a good recipe otherwise pretty plain!
