Black Bean and Cauliflower Soup with Ham

February 1, 2017 by Dominique

Black Bean and Cauliflower Soup with Ham is another healthy and tasty one for the books! We are still going hard, and I have finally embraced the challenge of cooking not only things that are not only good for you, but are also delicious too. This soup is inspired by Cuban Black Bean soup, which is a favorite of ours!

Black Bean and Cauliflower Soup

We  love the smoky flavor of the cumin and the creamy texture of the black beans. We added cauliflower to give the soup a bit more heft, Serrano for spice, and lime juice and cilantro at the end to add brightness to the soup. Now, black bean soup just doesn’t have the depth of flavor with out the pork. Instead of using a fatty cut of pork like bacon, we used just a little bit of cubed ham steak to give the soup some meaty smoky flavor. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
