Quick Black Bean Soup (serves 4)
1 cup diced onion
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/4 cups vegetable broth
two 15oz cans black beans
one can 15oz diced tomatoes
1 cup diced peeled russet potatoes (I like using sweet potato)
1 tsp dried thyme (lemon thyme is even tastier)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon or to taste, Tabasco sauce
Combine onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of the broth in a large pot. Bring
to a simmer and cook until the onions are softened, about 5
minutes. Add the rest of the broth, black beans with their juice,
potatoes, tomatoes, thyme, and cumin. Bring to a simmer, cover, and
adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cook about 25 minutes until the
potatoes are tender. Thin soup if nescessary with a little more
broth. Taste and adjust seasoning. (You may wish to add some salt.
