SO HOW'D IT GO?
this recipe was delicious, tho i did alter it quite a bit.. i only used 1 yellow onion and 1 can of black beans, then i rough chopped baby bell peppers into about 1" chunks, enough to fill up the can again.. I also added about a 1/2 cup of coconut milk, a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast and some rehydrated yuba (aka dried bean curd skin).. and 1 minced clove of garlic and 3 minced hot chili peppers to make it spicy :D(i used scotch bonnet peppers, but any hot pepper would be fine).. also, everything I used was asian-influenced, so as to not mess with the title of the recipe ;).. I garnished the soup with shredded carrots and chopped green onion.. mmmmmm
