excellent taste, instructions are vague

As noted elsewhere, this recipe says nothing about what to do with the garlic and bay leaves. What's more, the instructions seem to imply that the 8 hours on low in the slow cooker will cook the beans. Not so. They need to be precooked for a few hours on high for a good result. Otherwise, they can be boiled on the stovetop to rehydrate.
Excellent

I used a pork roast instead of the ribs and left out the rum. Still tasted fantastic. The mojo really rounds out the flavor.
Highly recommended

This soup was so easy to make and absolutely delicious! My only suggestion is that the instructions are a bit vague. FIRST, be sure to take the bay leaves out before blending and serving. SECONDLY - The garlic head instructions baffled me. I did cook it in the soup, peels and all, but I took it out before blending and serving too. Next time, I may use that garlic that I took out of the soup in the mojo sauce instead of re-cooking another few cloves. I will definitely make this again!
Yummy and easy black bean soup

I have been looking for some good slow cooker recipies and this one is a hit. I forgot to make the mojo so I served the soup with some crumbled queso fresco, sour cream, squeeze of lime, and hot sauce. My family loved it.
MMMM.....

My cilantro went bad before I could use it in this recipe. But I went on with the recipe any. I cut crushed red pepper in half because I didn't want it too spicy. Still came out wonderful
Yum!

I made this soup, minus the Mojo. I have to say it was excellent. I even had my sister try it, who'd never had black bean soup before & she loved it! I put it on before I left for work and came home to a meal ready to eat! It was a tad on the salty side, so next time I make it, I'll cut back on the salt. I also used smoked turkey legs in lieu of pork ribs which could have added to the saltiness.

This is very good. The mojo makes the entire dish pop. The entire family-teenagers and toddler-loved it.

this is a very good soup. I made it overnight and the aromas woke us up--it smelled so good!
Not so much...

I was not all that impressed with the finished product. The mojo was the saving grace, b/c w/o it, the soup was quite bland. I didn't think the end result was worth the effort.

After reading all the other reviews, i decided to give this a try and sure am glad i did. It was very easy and the Colts fans loved it! I agree with a previous reviewers advice: remove the bay leaves and garlic before blending the soup. And i think next time i will only blend about half the soup mixture so there is still some whole beans in the soup. And you have to add the mojo which makes it really good.
