Black Bean Soup

Ingredients:

1/4 cup cooked black beans

1/4 onion, diced

1/4 bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup beef broth

1 tbsp cooking oil

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cumin

Salt (1/4 tsp)

Black pepper (1/8 tsp)

Instructions:

Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened.

Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld.

Blend a portion of the soup using a fork or a blender for a thicker consistency, if desired. Serve warm.
