[CH] Black bean soup - with a bit of hab

Pods,
I made a stock from T-day turkey bones and saved it; it gelled in the fridge. Then I soaked some black beans, and surfed a few black bean soup recipes for some basic ideas.
The soup turned out well, but it was missing ... something ... so I chopped up one of my very la-a-a-a-a-ast orange habs from my 08 crop.
The flavors came together like two puzzle pieces! The earthy richness of the beans fit the bright heat of the hab. I think it would work best if the habs were added as a fresh garnish at serving.
Ah, the old one-hab-per-meal policy. It would be funny to write up a full cookbook and have every recipe start with one habanero.
