    Holy cow, Robyn! (pun intended) My neighbor has a smoker. Might have to go over there and borrow it to make this. Perfect autumn dinner.

  2. Barbara @ Modern Comfort Food says:

    This recipe is so right up my alley. Cuban-style black bean soup and Southern-style smoked beef brisket are local favorites where I live, and the idea of putting them together is brilliant. Fall is soup season for me, and I’m definitely bookmarking this to make soonest. Well done, Robyn!

  3. naomi says:

    I love the idea of smoked brisket with black beans. Now I only have to convince the hubs that I need one. ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. SMITH BITES says:

    Someday . . . someday Robyn, The Professor and I will move near you and Amy, we’ll live in a Yankee Barn home on some acreage that we farm and you will make this for us – oh what a happy day that will be! Am marking this now because I AM making it sometime this winter!

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Oh we’ll have a blast, won’t we?

  5. bridget {bake at 350} says:

    Robyn….I am SO making this! That, or coming to live at your house…..either way.

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Come on over. Just bring cookies!

  6. Kristen says:

    Oh how I adore black bean soup but have never thought to put a brisket in it. Delicious!

  7. Tracy says:

    What a hearty fall meal! Yum!

  8. Kim @ Quit Eating Out says:

    Our family loves to make smoked brisket… I’ve made it in the oven and my husband smokes it on the grill. I have never thought to turn it into soup! Love this recipe… especially as the wind is whipping outside and getting cooler. I’m anxious to try this. Have a great day!

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Perfectly delicious in the soup. My family love it!

  9. Strawberry CAKE says:

    Robyn this looks so good. Perfect for a cold Michigan winter day! Thanks for sharing.

    1. Jay J says:

      Iโ€™m assuming you have to add stock to make this a soup. I donโ€™t see any liquid in recipe. It would seem more like a stew the way the recipe is written

    2. Robyn Stone says:

      Jay J, the one can of pureed beans plus the juice in the undrained cans of beans provide the liquid needed for this soup. I hope you enjoy!

  10. Rachel ~ A Southern Fairytale says:

    oh yes.
    so much yes ๐Ÿ˜‰
    delish!
