How spicy do you like your food?
I like my food with a little bit of spice and kick. I would say it’s like a 2-3 stars out of 5 at a Thai restaurant type of situation, or a medium salsa situation.
Spice is a great component because it’s kind of addictive, it add lots of flavor and it’s healthy and kind of exciting. A hint of cayenne, hot sauce or chili can wake up your taste buds and help you clear your sinuses.
Spice is also the basis of so many cuisines of the world: Asian, Thai, Indian, Mexican. Every country has some iconic type of spice, I would say…except for maybe America. But, we’re working on that! (Does pepper jelly count? Probably not.)
This Spicy Black Bean Soup has quite the kick, between jalapeno, cayenne and other spices. It is also extremely tasty and comforting, and will absolutely cure what ails you.
It only takes a few fresh and pantry ingredients to make this one, so it should be a welcome addition to any meal plan.
