My wife Helen makes black bean soup and when she serves it up, she adds 
about a tablespoon of her own habanero infused rum. Damn is that good on 
a cold day (or any day for that matter).

I like the idea of the hab garnish at the end. Not only for the added 
heat, but for the looks as well. It sure would make a nice presentation.
