And, then there are about a million things to do with black beans. The most basic might be to saute some jalapenos and garlic in a pan.

Be careful doing this: depending on the heat of the pepper, you can manufacture tear gas on your stove. I’ve done this twice, much to my chagrin (and agony). Since then, I always add the hot peppers once there are plenty of other ingredients in the pan.

Speaking of black beans, Campbell’s condensed black bean soup makes a good dip when mixed with a bit of sour cream.

I’ve posted my [Italian pasta & bean soup](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7158263&postcount=14) recipe before.

By the time it’s all cooked up, it’s hearty, but not very bean-y tasting.

I strongly second **BrainGlutton’s** suggestion of the Hurst’s bean soup mixes. They’re all great. Try the [15 bean chili soup](http://hurstbeans.com/products.asp) mix if you like chili at all. I don’t know how they cram all that flavor in a little spice packet, but they do (all their soup mixes come with a spice packet), and their bean soup mixes are really affordable.
