Black Bean Soup

--

I found a wonderful Mexican vegetarian cookbook at a used book sale

recently. This is one I plan to try.

 

Ingredients

2 cups black beans

2 large onions, diced

2 bell peppers, diced

10 cloves garlic, diced

5 cups water

2 hot peppers

2 teaspoon cumin powder

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoon oregano

salt

 

Directions

Soak beans overnight.

 

Boil all ingredients together for 2 - 3 hours. Thirty minutes before

serving, add the juice of one or two limes.

 

Serve with garnish of chopped onion, parsely, chile peppers, tomatoes,

thinned sour cream, broken fried tortillas. let each person select his own

garish.

 

Alternative Methods:

1 - Saute onions, garlic, pappers, in oil first. Then add them to the beans

after cooked.

2 - Puree entire mixture after cooking.
