  1. Soak the black beans and prep according to the package direction. [For a quick soak, use the boiling water method.]

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and then add the drained beans, ham hock and the bay leaf.
  5. Bring to a slight boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the cumin, coriander, thyme, and paprika. Partially cover the pot and cook for about 2 hours until the beans are tender.
  6. Remove the ham bone and shred off any meat. Set aside. Allow the soup to cool for a few minutes.
  7. Depending on desired consistency (smooth or chunky), you can puree the soup by using a handheld immersion blender or in batches with a blender.
  8. Add the cooked ham and shredded meat to the soup in the pot. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and add the sherry. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat uncovered to heat through.
  9. Serve with toppings of choice such as sour cream or yogurt, green onions, chopped hard-boiled egg, etc. Serve with some crusty bread.
