Usually called the doctor. Or the caretaker.

I made black bean soup the other day, and did it a little differently than usual. It turned out really nicely, so I thought I'd preserve it for posterity.

A little butter in the bottom of a saucepan
Half a carrot, sliced
garlic
some onion if you like (I didn't have any)

Saute it till the carrot is bright (and probably till the onion is translucent), then add

450 mL of beef broth
a can of black beans
chili powder (a palmful)
cumin (a palmful)
salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce

Cook it for a while, and then blend it with your immersion blender till it's smooth and let it simmer a bit before serving.
