Black Bean Soup with a Splash

Another easy to put together recipe is the Black Bean Soup with a Splash on page 159. The soup takes about 45 minutes to cook.

I didn't realize I had an immersion blender until I looked at some attachments I have for my Do it All. It's a gadget I bought off an infomercial a million years ago that I probably used twice pre-gan but a zillion times now that I'm vegan.

The "splash" is some optional Brandy that you can either add at the end or serve separately and allow your guests to add if they choose.

I liked the punch that it added. I didn't realize I forgot the parsley so put some dried parsley on top :p.
