black bean soup i could open a diner with……



tim asked me to post the recipe…basically, though, it’s all “to taste”. but here’s what i put in it:

1 large can of black beans, 1/2 can of water, warmed in a saucepan, add one avocado to the black beans towards the end of cooking…(i probably cook the beans for 10-15 minutes or so).

in a skillet, heat some avocado or canola oil (or other high heat oil) with onion powder (to taste), garlic powder (to taste) and salt. i use quite a bit of the onion powder. i like the taste of onions but i don’t like the texture so i don’t use them–but if you want to use real onions, use less powder.

add frozen corn, green beans, and quartered baby carrots (i’d say about a handful of each) to the oil. if you want to impress some of your meat eating friends (or if you’re hankerin’ for some tasty vegan meat)–add a box of the smart strips chick’n style strips to the mix. i usually add a bit more onion powder and garlic powder while it’s cooking–again, to taste. i love rich, garlicy food so i’m all about a few extra “pinches”.

i will saute the veggies for a good 10-15 minutes or so, stirring quite a bit. sometimes i add another half can or so of water depending on how soupy i want it to be. honestly, though, it’s more of a stew.

pour the beans and avocado into the veggie mix and mix it all together, let it sit for another few minutes…

this makes two somewhat large helpings (the more the merrier’s what i say). :o )

serve, and enjoy!
