Black Bean Soup

I really like beans. Any kind of bean. I especially enjoy soups made with beans. Here is a nice one made with black beans. It comes together quickly and easily. If you want to be more complicated, make the beans from scratch. Toppings for it can be as varied as your imagination. The one pictured had chopped red bell pepper, cilantro and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Hubby likes pureed soups so this one is blended, but you can leave the beans whole.
