~Spicy Bean Soup~ 2 lb. dry black beans, soaked overnight

We call this "Surprise Soup" because it tastes better than it looks!  Everybody asked, "Is that all?!" when they saw it, but everybody liked the soup once they tasted it .

1 t. garlic powder

2 T. chili powder

2 t. ground cumin

2 t. cayenne pepper

11/2 t. ground black pepper

16 drops hot pepper sauce (opt.)

Drain black beans and rinse.  In a large pot, combine beans, broth, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, pepper and hot sauce.   Cook on on med. heat for about 2 hours stirring occasionally or until beans are soft.   Season with salt. 

 ~Cheese Stuffed Bread~

 1recipe (1loaf size) of your favorite bread dough
