Lone Star Steakhouse Black Bean Soup
"This restaurant boasts a unique "Texas roadhouse" ambiance. When you walk into any Lone Star restaurant, the first thing you'll notice is the crackling peanut shells beneath your feet. When you're seated you get your own free bucket of peanuts to munch on, and you'll just flip the shells onto the wood plank floors. Western music plays over the speakers, and every hour or so the waitstaff breaks into a funky little honky tonk line dance next to your table while the crunching peanut shells add a unique percussion element. The spicy black bean soup is a popular item on the Lone Star menu. Here's a way to make a version of your own that can be served as an appetizer or as a meal in itself. It's great with a garnish of freshly diced red onion, jalapenos, and sour cream on top. Source: "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes" by Todd Wilbur...."
