Black bean soup warms the soul, even if you lack ingredients
The days keep alternating from sunny with the promise of tulips to rainy, raw and gray during which the collective self-quarantine demands a trashy mystery, a fireplace or some soothing soup.

Of course, if you have…

Boil them, roast them, steam them, cover them with sauce. But if you have breadcrumbs in the pantry, or dry bread you can hammer into crumbs, and a bit of hard cheese in the bottom of the frig, there is an interesting—potentially new to you--way to jazz up members of the…
