George's At The Cove Black Bean Soup

An original recipe created by chef scott meskan, george's at the cove. We enjoyed this when we visited this restaurant in la jolla, california. This recipe is requested so often, they have it printed and ready at the hostess stand. It's unbeatable at the restaurant, but i do a pretty good job at home, too, if i do say so myself!!
