The weather’s ripe for enjoying a nice bowl of soup (sometimes, I get a little tired of chilli living in Cincinnati- AKA: Chilli-town USA).
This morning, I contemplated breaking out a couple cans of Progresso black bean soup to enjoy this evening with a loaf of hot bread. But on second thought, a homemade version would be a much better option. Thus, I consulted the various Rachel Ray cookbooks in our kitchen cabinet. And I found just the ticket: Spicy Black Bean Soup With Limed-Up Shrimp. I’ll make some minor adjustments to the recipe- omit the shrimp and add some red pepper, beer, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a dollop of guacamole on top prior to serving.
So the kicker question, what should one pair with such a hearty soup? I’ll give the following brew a shot: Bell’s Porter.

Dinner will be served at 6 sharp- don’t be late!
