Receta Black Bean Soup
It's winter, snows on the ground and I just finished plowing our road. What a great time for some warm comfort food and this black bean soup fills the bill perfectly.
Simple, not too spicy and full of flavor.

- Heat olive oil in a large pot and saute onions and garlic till soft.
- Add tomatoes, salt, oregano and red pepper flakes and saute until liquid is reduced by 1/2.
- Add chicken stock and bay leaves to the tomato and onion mixture.
- Drain and rinse the black beans and add to the pot.
- Bring to a soft boil, turn down and simmer for 1/2 hour or longer (I let the pot simmer for about 2 hours but it's ready to eat after about 1/2 hour).
- Use an immersion blender to breakdown about 1/2 of the beans. If you don't have an immersion blender just mash some of the beans to thicken the soup.
- Dish up into bowls and garnish.
