I had a large meaty bone left over from a fresh ham. Hmmm...what to do, what to do...good for soup, but no smoky flavor..I took some very heavily smoked slab bacon - about 6-8 ounces, cubed it, cooked it up in the bottom of a heavy soup pot.
In went.........
1-1/2 tbs of medium heat chile powder 1 large diced Spanish onion 3 diced celery stalks, 2 cut up carrots, 3 garlic cloves 2 fresh bay leaves 1 small can of chiles 1 large can of tomatoes, with the liquid 1 lb of pre-soaked black beans 1.5 quarts of chicken stock plus some water to top it all off
....and of course, that big bone.
Not bad...not bad at all. Served with a squeeze of lime and some chopped cilantro.

No tequila? I think it's illegal to have black been soup without tequila.
