We’re at the theater all week for rehearsals. That means that when it comes to dinner, we think simple.
We debated the merits of American chili vs. the merits of Cuban Black Bean Soup.
NO contest.
Black bean soup,wins by a landslide.
And we also discovered that if you put last night’s leftover picadillo into your thick soup, you have a whole fun new food item: Cuban Black Bean Soup/Chili. I’ll have the recipe posted over at Babalu today.
Ooh! Count me in! 😉

I have tried going to the recipe but comes up blank.. Question. Is the picadillo something like the armadillo? The Chili looks lip smacking good..

Hi Dennis,Welcome. If you click on the Cuban Black Bean Soup/Chili link it will take you to the recipe.
Picadillo and armadillo are similar only in spelling. We pronounce the double L’s like a Y. So the last syllable sounds like ‘Yo’ which also means ‘Me’ in Spanish. (I love order in the universe, don’t you? =D)
