I gave Hungry as Hell as a gift to my kiddo. We ate our way through half the book during her winter break, and I loved the recipes so much that I bought the digital version for myself. 💕

I swear this is the best soup I ever made, thank you so much! Received it in inbox, thought hell I can make that RIGHT NOW and that is just what I did. Chopped up some fresh red bell peppers, no patience for roasting, and it was delicious, the roasted flavor came through from the canned fire-roasted tomatoes. I love this soup so much I wanna bathe in it. So thanks for that!!

The soup looks totally delish. Do I add the coconut milk with the tomatoes, beans and broth, or is anytime okay? Can't wait to try this! Update—the answer is below—add to the blender!

I made a black eyed pea soup for New Year's Day but used dried red runner beans from our garden. This was our first time growing them, we got the seeds from our local library! The soup was awesome... I thought the beans had a black eyed pea flavor so the substitution was great!

Roasting the red peppers I got at the farmers market today. Getting ready to make this soup. It’s so cold here today in the Bay Area and this feels like a perfect Sunday warm me up recipe. On another note we made the El Congri de Flor last night for dinner. It was one of the best red beans and rice I’ve ever had. When I woke up this morning the house still smelled of “grandma’s cooking”. What a treat. The leftovers are even better today. Thank you for all your hard work, my boyfriend and I love cooking from your cookbooks.

YUMMMMM, thank you and happy new year. You were missed. Hey, when do I put in the coconut milk (I’m literally making this right now 😍). Does it go in with the broth or toward the end?
