Black bean soup

Basically this recipe http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/cuban-black-bean-soup/, but tripled.

My vegan who doesn't like vegetables loves black bean soup. She asked if I'd blend the onions so she couldn't see them.  I did.

1 small onion (blended into juice)
1 tablespoon (heaping) cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 cans black beans (drained)
4.5 cups of veggie broth
1-2 garlic cloves
salt to taste (I used 1 teaspoon as our beans were unsalted)

Put the onion and a little broth in a soup pan and cook for 5 minutes or so.

Add everything else listed above; cook for 20-30 minutes.

Put 1 container of salsa (15 ounces) <--one more ingredient not listed above, in blender with 1/2 to most of the beans.  Blend. Pour back in the soup pan.

Add 1 tablepoon lime juice <--and again one more ingredient not listed above.

 Cook for 5-10 more minutes.

Serve with  chips, rice, or quinoa and whatever toppings you like (the vegan who doesn't like vegetables loves Daiya cheese).


Very easy and very tasty.
