Hello Pompeyams and welcome aboard.
I found two recipes in Splendid Soups by James Peterson.
The first one is a "Black Bean Soup" which appears to be a classic; and the second one "Indian-Style Black Bean Soup" (pp. 240-243).
Do you need me to post it for you? If so, which one?
I miss Jeremiah too!
I have a recipe of his, "Cold Pear and Watercress Soup" featured in The Good Cook Series (Time-Life) from way back in 1979!
