    Black Bean Soup with Avocado Salsa

    Ingredients

    6 cups drained and rinsed canned black beans (three 19-ounce cans)
    4 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
    2 tablespoons cooking oil
    1 onion, chopped
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/2 cup dry sherry
    1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
    2 avocados, preferably Hass, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
    6 radishes, halved and sliced thin
    2 tablespoons lime juice

    Directions

    Combine 3 cups of the beans and 1 cup of chicken broth in a blender or

    food processor and puree until smooth.

    In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and

    1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft,

    about 5 minutes. Increase the heat, add the sherry, and boil until reduced

    to approximately 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes.

    Add the bean puree, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, and the remaining 3 cups of

    chicken broth and 3 cups of beans. Simmer until hot, about 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the avocados, cilantro, radishes, lime juice,

    and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mix gently. S

    poon the soup into bowls and top with the salsa.

    Notes:
    If the radishes aren’t perfectly crisp, soak them in a bowl of ice water. A few minutes of shock may be just enough to revive them.

    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 large jalapeño, seeded and minced
    1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    Salt and freshly ground pepper

    One 1-pound pork loin roast, trimmed of excess fat

    Directions


    1.  PREPARE THE BEANS: In a large saucepan, cover the beans with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.

    Transfer the pork to a plate and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle.

    4.  Remove the bay leaf. Shred the pork into strips and stir into the broth.

    Season with salt. Fill the tortillas with pork and serve with the black beans and salsa.
