1 lb dried black beans

5 garlic cloves, minced
3 leeks, white part only, washed well and finely diced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely diced
3 stalks celery, finely diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, to taste
1 cup madeira wine, plus
extra madeira wine, for finishing
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped, to taste (I usually use 3, but I like this on the spicy side !)
1 bay leaf
10 -½ cups water
sour cream (to garnish) (optional)

1
Sort beans carefully, removing any stones.
2
Place beans in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by three inches.
3
Soak overnight.
4
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat.
5
Add garlic, leeks, bell pepper, celery, carrots, and thyme.
6
Sprinkle with salt and mix well.
7
Saute until soft, but not browned, about 10 minutes.
8
Add 1 cup Madeira and cook until liquid reduces by half.
9
Stir in beans, bay leaf, chipotles and 10 cups water.
10
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally and adding additional water if needed, until beans are very soft, about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
11
Transfer to blender in batches and puree until smooth.
12
Reheat if necessary.
13
I usually puree only half, as I like a little more texture in the soup.
14
To serve, ladle into bowls and spoon a little sour cream into center if you like.
15
Drizzle a couple of teaspoons of Madeira around the sour cream and serve.
