Carnival starts in Rio De Janeiro in February. But thanks to this black bean soup, it starts next week – in your mouth! Oh how strange, yet enticing. See what we’ve done is taken old fashioned black bean soup and turned up the volume on the party – adding wacky spices, some veggies, and orange juice. Yes, orange juice. Si!! Also, while making this soup we dress up in sparkly outfits and dance around the kitchen shaking maracas. So don’t be surprised if, while gobbling down this winter soup, you spontaneously burst into the samba. It happens to the best of us! Oh and you won’t be alone…this soup is enjoyed by everyone from community organizers to president elects to children at Sidwell Friends. Ole!
