The way Hale and Hearty describes this dish: "The national dish of Brazil, this classic flavorful soup is a blend of black beans with delicious traditional spices. Contains pancetta" it's clear that they are going for their version of Feijoada. M and I have had some tasty Feijoada that we should write about at some point and also some less than stellar offerings as well.
In essence, Feijoada is a black bean stew full of different cuts of meat. It's stewed with some herbs and spices and is often served with rice and farofa. Hale and Hearty obviously did not give rice or farofa, but this soup was quite delicious.
Brazilian Black Bean Soup (aka Feijoada)
The soup/stew is incredibly hearty and warm. It feels like home, and it was perfect for today's dreary weather. Along with the pancetta, they added large cuts of beef and diced up sausage as well. They added in some diced onions and celery as well, but those were a bit harder to distinguish. The added meat was really a surprise since it wasn't listed on the soup's description, but I guess it makes sense since without it this would just be a black bean soup flavored with pancetta.
I really enjoyed this soup, and I'm hoping that enough people liked it so that Hale and Hearty keeps it as part of the rotation.
