Black Bean Soup

My mum used to cook this for us but my hsb claimed that it is bitter. Actually it is not bitter at all and good for health. A bit oily this time due to the pork ribs that i used, will try again next time.
"Black beans are a good source of fiber, which works to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels. They also provide a good source of protein and iron."
