SOUP OF THE WEEK...

BLACK BEAN WITH MEYER LEMON CREME FRAICHE

This would be great as a side dish for Mexican food! As a complete meal, for me it was lacking.  But I learned something, as it seems I do with every recipe.  I had never made black beans before  but they're just like pintos - they're simple and better without that "canned" taste.  Now, about the creme fraiche - couldn't find any at the store so I learned how to make my own.  All you do is buy fresh cream, let it sit overnight to naturally sour and thicken, then add fresh lemon zest + a tablespoon of juice.  It gave the soup a nice lemony fresh taste!


The Lemon Creme Fraiche is also great on dessert!
