tasty recipe

The Bunko girls raved about this, but I didn't have a chance to send it out (two more to follow, for Buttermilk Cake and Caramel Glaze). Original is from Molly, and I love the variety in the flavors.

Black Bean Soup

• 1 can chicken broth/stock
• 2 cans black beans, drained (can make this part ahead, but it adds to the overall time)
• 1 can tomatoes, any style
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 T oregano
• 1 clove garlic, pressed or chopped
• pepper to taste (salt's in the beans!)
• 1 or 2 chopped jalapenos (optional)

Throw everything into a pot and simmer 20-30 minutes. Spoon over rice and squeeze fresh lime juice over each serving.

Top with sour cream, salsa, grated cheese and avocado. Serve with a tortilla and beer!
