Southwestern Fiesta Turkey Soup


Black beans have long been a protein rich staple food of many Latin cultures. Today, black beans are enjoyed by most cultures around the world.

Black beans, botanically known as Phaseolus vulgaris, are native to the Americas. One of over 500 varieties of kidney beans, black beans is also known as turtle beans. These beans date back at least 7,000 years, when they were a staple food in the diets of Central and South Americans.

The beans are close the size of a pea, with the slightly less pronounced boat shape common to kidney beans. They have a satiny black skin and a white center. When cooked, the beans have a creamy texture with a strong, slightly sweet flavor
