I didn't feel it was that spicy. I doubled the garlic. I did like the flavor.

Yummy on a cold night! Hubby thought it a little salty and said he'd at least cut salt in half next time. Served with a little sour cream & shredded cheese on top. Will definitely make again. Already planning it for when we have leftover pork loin and will use in place of ham! Thanks - good recipe.

Family raved. Husband brought some to work for lunch. The aroma drew many requests to taste, and many requests to bring more. Three days running, he finally wants something else for lunch.

This soup is absolutely delicious and it couldn't be any easier. I followed the recipe almost exactly except I used fresh parsley and I added about a half a cup of red wine.

Awesome flavor! I chopped the carrot's instead of shredding, and used a four blend peppercorn grind as I am out of Cayenne. Garnished soup with shredded cheddar and sour cream. A big hit with my family! Tomorrow we'll have the thickened leftovers in tortilla wraps. Thanks for a great soup recipe Angela!

I really liked this soup. I made a few changes though...I cut the carrots instead of shredding them, and used canned black beans. I must have put a lot of pepper in there because it was really spicy! I only boiled it for 45 minutes or so...I find I never have 2 hours to cook dinner...and it was still good! Cant wait to try it again tonight because I am sure the flavors are even better. :)

Spicy?I wouldn't quite call it that... Delicious and easy yes! i had it with tortilla chips and monterey jack cheese. My four year old didnt call it dirty... she cleaned the bowl... If you are expecting spicy however add more pepper.. Otherwise good recipe.. lose a star for making me think it would be spicy....Kudos for not needing to soak the beans overnight

Wonderful, hearty soup! I cooked my Christmas hambone in some water and 2 cans of chicken broth and then pulled the meat off and added the remainder of the ingredients (used canned beans). I also put in a couple of chipotle chilies - WOW! Really heated that broth up. I ended up adding almost a full can of tomato juice and threw in some cooked white rice to cut down the fire. Still had great flavor and warmed us up on a cold, rainy night!

I made this yesterday and it got mixed reviews. I think I must not be a big fan of black beans but my hubby is and he really loved it. My 4 yr old son wouldn't have any part of it and my 6 yr old daughter took a taste and called it "dirty". I must admit I had a hard time getting past the unappetizing way it looks. The flavor tho is really good and the leftovers will probably taste even better. I only put half the ham it called for, omitted the salt and put only half the celery salt. To suit myself better since I really didn't care for the black beans, I will try the same recipe only substitute pinto beans.

Maybe I undercooked the beans. Maybe it was too spicy. I don't know. My wife, who loves spicy food said it was good. However, it stayed in the freezer forever; neither she nor I apparently were enthused enough about the soup the defrost the pint containers we use. Thus, six months after making it, I must say, "Ho-hum" and give it two stars.

Very delicious! I simmered two hamhocks in the water the night before and skimmed off the fat the next morning. Other than eliminating the tomatos, I followed the recipe adding only a little sherry at the end. I also used my "Thunder Stick" to puree the beans and then let the soup simmer (without the lid) for about another hour to thicken up. We topped the soup with scallions, avacado, jalapeno peppers and shredded jack cheese. Thanks Angela!

This soup is very good and very bold in flavor. Even more awesome the next day. I may try using diced tomatoes with green chiles next time for even more spice. Thanks Angela!

My husband LOVED this soup! It gets better the day after preparation when the flavors have a chance to blend. This is a fantastic winter soup that I make at the beginning of the week and keep around for lunches.

This soup is full of bold flavor. You'd think it was made in a restaraunt. An excellent recipe that my wife and children loved. I couldn't recomend it more! I used a hambone instead for even more flavor.
