Notes

Blackbean soup does not traditionally have tomato in it. A slow-cooked black bean soup made with dried beans is extra delicious but takes many hours of cooking. So you can experience this lovely soup I've put it on fast forward adding lots of extra quick flavour by adding tomato
Follow the recipe omitting the bacon. Instead add in 1 finely chopped green capsicum and 3 sticks of celery finely diced to the ingredients in the recipe above. A bayleaf really brings out the bean flavour too. Use vegetable stock or cubes in place of chicken stock. ALSO a great way to add salty lovely flavour is to add 1 cup of yeast flakes. You will find these in the heathfood action of the supermarket. Stir them into your soup when you add the beans and tomato.
If you can't get tomato passata add tomato juice or peeled tomatoes.
Add 2 bay leaves if you have some. This gives a lovely depth of flavour
You can serve this soup with a swirl of sour cream or aioli
Garnish the soup with extra fried bacon pieces or a nice slice of grilled pancetta or smoked spek
If celery is available use 3 sticks finely diced and add with the onion and carrot instead of using celery salt
Finish with a swirl it with sour cream or aioli
