I can't speak to the authenticity of the "Cuban" title, but it is an easy and delicious soup. I only use two cans of beans, though. Makes plenty.

Since I am cuban it is easy to see that this recipe is far from Cuban.....if anything it should be called Mexican black bean soup. Cubans do not use salsa or sour cream in recipes...ever! This may be tasty but it is NOT cuban.

Absolutely delicious! I used Safeway brand southwest salsa made with black beans and corn. It complemented the soup very nicely. I also added a pinch of crushed red pepper(I like it hot). Skipped the oil to cut calories, and used fat free chicken broth. Turned out wonderful!
