How to make Black Bean Soup
In a medium stock pot, place the olive oil, onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté
the vegetables until they are tender. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add the bouillon
cubes, and allow to dissolve. Add the bouillon, cooked beans, and the remaining
ingredients (except cornstarch and 2 tablespoon water) to sautéed vegetables. Bring
mixture to a simmer and cook approximately 15 minutes. In a blender, puree 1 quart
of the soup, and put back into the pot. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and
2 tablespoon water. Add the cornstarch mix to the soup and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
Serve with cornbread, white rice, or your favorite side dish.
