Beer & Black Bean Soup

21/8/2015

Heavy on the flavour, easy on the effort. A baked soup (I know?!) with a combination of ingredients that may make you raise an eyebrow, but the resulting flavour is one that'll have you refilling your dish again and again. Very moreish, incredibly so, in fact. And easy too - what's not to love?

For four generous portions you'll need:

1 Onion
3 Garlic Cloves
125g Chorizo
350 ml Dark Beer
110 ml Water
60g Dark Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
100g Sundried Tomatoes
315g Black Beans
