Lost in Translation

It's funny how recipes change over time. They get modified for personal tastes, ingredients get substituted, and steps get simplified. Sometimes mistakes get made, and it works surprisingly well.

The case in point is the garlic black bean and tomato soup I'm having for lunch this week. Originally, it was supposed to have two cloves of garlic. My wife misheard me (as I was telling her the recipe) and wrote down, "two tablespoons of garlic." It's not as overwhelming as you might think, but it's still pretty garlicky.
