Black Bean Soup

Soup is a comfort food. I enjoy experimenting with soup recipes and finding ways to incorporate soup into the weekly meal routine. This black bean soup is quick to make and will disappear just as quickly. I suggest making a double batch!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 TSP cumin
• 1/2 TSP oregano
• 1/2 TSP paprika
• 1/2 TSP ground pepper
• 1 can tomatoes (I suggest fire roasted or a can with garlic included)
• 3 cups of low sodium vegetable broth
• 4 cups black beans
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 6 garlic cloves (diced)
• Olive Oil ... just enough to sautee aromatics 
  

Instructions:

• Add the onion, garlic, and spices into a pot with olive oil. Satuee until translucent.
• Add tomatoes, beans, and broth and bring to a boil. 
• Reduce heat and cover. 
• Cook for 20 minutes.
• Add an additional cup of broth if the beans soaked up all 3 cups or you prefer a more liquid consistency.
