I have never thought about storing herbs in the freezer but it's a great idea - I'll keep it in mind next time we have leftover greens. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-90865838635186357542008-10-06T07:43:00.000+11:002008-10-06T07:43:00.000+11:00I made this tonight - delish, and very quick if yo...I made this tonight - delish, and very quick if you you canned beans and have chopped coriander in the freezer. I think I overestimated the amount of beans two cans constitute, though, and had to take about three cups of liquid out before I blended it or it would have been way too watery. I halved the chili powder too - I know from experience that ours is blow-you-up spicy. There's enough left for two work lunches too.Abigail Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024241976498017291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-67376301181189551562008-10-01T09:54:00.000+10:002008-10-01T09:54:00.000+10:00Hiya, Susan - thanks for stopping by!

Great idea to pop the avocado right in it rather than risk a side dish of darkening guacamole - now *that* ain't too pretty. ; }Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-14447644951500562072008-09-24T09:50:00.000+10:002008-09-24T09:50:00.000+10:00I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Loo...I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Looking at the black beans and avocado chunks, I know this is going to be good but I can equally understand why someone less legume-minded might mistake it for pond water. :-D<BR/><BR/>Ran, I think the key is using an avocado that's not too ripe e.g. one that's spreadable is too far gone. These avos held together just fine, even as I ate leftover soup a couple of days later!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-8288920158875868962008-09-23T14:13:00.000+10:002008-09-23T14:13:00.000+10:00I also reckon it looks great -- but I guess if you...I also reckon it looks great -- but I guess if you've been brought up on legume soup as a staple then it makes sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-64636068194090763612008-09-23T11:17:00.000+10:002008-09-23T11:17:00.000+10:00i love black beans but am scared by the thought of...i love black beans but am scared by the thought of avocado in a soup for some reason. doesnt it just go mushy and dissolve?Ranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568352148465203176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-59728260256920908562008-09-20T18:21:00.000+10:002008-09-20T18:21:00.000+10:00this sounds fantastic - love the combination of be...this sounds fantastic - love the combination of beans, avocado and tomatoes in a soup - makes me think this is how I should use those dried black beans lurking in my pantryJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-47129313002481888012008-09-20T15:25:00.000+10:002008-09-20T15:25:00.000+10:00It certainly doesn't look beautiful, but with such...It certainly doesn't look beautiful, but with such an array of gorgeous-tasting ingredients (black beans! avocado! lime juice! garlic garlic garlic!) it must surely taste beautiful.
