Cuban black bean soup with chorizo sofrito

TOMMY BAHAMA RESTAURANTS

SEATTLE-BASED

To kick up the heat in this Cuban-inspired recipe, the kitchen adds spicy smoked chorizo to the traditional sofrito mixture of onion, garlic, peppers and chiles. The soup is simmered long and slow to develop the flavors and tenderize the black beans. For service, some sofrito is stirred into the soup and the remainder is dolloped on top for just the right amount of spicy fusion.
