I made black bean soup today, still pretending it is fall. Today was cooler-- in the 70's so it's getting nicer. Black Bean Soup 2 t. oil 1 bag black beans, soaked and drained 1 onion, diced 1/2 c. green pepper, diced 2 c. carrots, sliced 1-2 T. minced garlic 2 T. chili powder 2 T. cumin 1-2 dashes cayenne (more if there are no kids eating) salt and pepper to taste 1 T. lemon juice 4-6 c. chicken broth (thicker is better, especially if serving with tortilla chips) 2 c. corn (I was out so I used 1 can hominy) grated cheese (optional) and sour cream to garnish tortilla chips Saute the garlic, onions, pepper and carrots in the oil. Add all other ingredients (except corn can be added at the end). Garnish each bowl with cheese if desired and sour cream. Serve with tortilla chips or corn bread. You could make it with bacon if you have some-- I was out so just used the oil and made it meatless. Or a little ham or sausage, but it is even good without any meat.
