This is what you do:
Soak and cook your black beans.
Saute carrot, onion, crushed chipotles and other spices in bacon fat.
Add some of your black beans and chicken stock (reserve some black beans)
When everything is really soft, cool it, put it into a blender, and puree it.
Pass the puree through a chinois until it is of an ultimate smoothness.
Then, finally, put a ham hock into a pot and dump the puree in.
Bring this to a boil, then simmer it for a good long while.
You might add some tomato sauce if you want to round out or sweeten the broth...
At the very end, add the remaining black beans and some of the bean cooking water.
Season the soup and bring it to temperature.
Serve with sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and cheese toasty.

I live in the last bad neighborhood in Hollywood. Maybe it is weird to talk about it, but I have a mental illness and have never had much money. It's types like myself that live in the cheap areas of cities, downtowns, etc. It's a part of the lifestyle, all the people on drugs around you, the sketchiness. It's a whole lifestyle, funny. this "friend" of mine always made fun of where I lived and the neighborhood: one of those types with all the answers, until, he started having sex without condoms, and now has an estraged wife and baby. Recently he called and asked me to check if there was vacancies here. That's one of my favorite things about the adult world: those with all the answers, all the "rock solid" characters, it's funny. Wear a condom. eat beans rather than McDonalds: I still don't know what I'm thinking....!!
That cheesy bread is workin for me. Love black beans, love all beans. No kale here! Keri
