Excellent! Very close to the best black bean soup I've ever eaten. My family loved it. I won't look further for another recipe. Made no changes to the recipe when I prepared it but there is room for tweaking if it's not just right for your taste and texture.

Excellent recipe, I made it as directed and it was wonderful. Started with dried beans and the remains of a ham bone. Then I did the unthinkable, I added 8 oz of velveeta cheese to the pot! Very tasty and the whole pot was gone by the end of the day. You don't have to tell anyone what you did!

I made this for my family, and all 5 of us loved it!!! My daughters, who don't like black bean soup loved it!!! It has become a staple meal around our house. The cuban sandwich and plantain chips make a fabulous meal. I used dried beans, and all of mine were cooked fine.

While this recipe was delicious I would not necesarily say it is Cuban black bean soup. Being Cuban I can say that Cubans do not use either Jalapeno or Cilantro in their cooking. These ingredients give the soup more of a Mexican feel. The crema was a great addition but again this is not an element of authentic Cuban cooking.

If you are visually impaired- this is the soup for you. It tastes wonderful and has a great complex flavor, but looks revolting. The texture did not turn out well, I had no problem with the beans being hard, but the texture was like much.

I made this soup tonight and thought it was absolutely delicious! A lot of posters are having trouble with the beans, I followed instructions for the beans and mine were fine. I got a crunchy bean or two in my bowlful, but that is to be expected. Only thing I can figure is people 'simmered' too low which made for longer cook times. Canned beans would be great if you are short on time, I just prefer the cost/salt control of dried beans. One poster mentioned that he used fresh beans in the episode and i watched it too and didn't see that, in fact he picked through the beans as you do with dried ones. I dried oregano because I didn't want to buy fresh and also disposed of the ham hock as mine was more greasey than meaty. Also used homemade pickled jalepenos (about 2 TBSP, minced because I was out of fresh. This recipe is a keeper!

Just FYI, though all of the seasonings are what you would find in Cuban black beans, the jalapeno is definitely a Mexican food thing....
