Black bean soup

This is the best black bean soup recipe in the world. Serve over rice with diced up onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. Save the left over black beans. There are more recipes to come that include the use of this soup! If you want it more spicy, add cayenne pepper or diced hot

peppers. My kids love this stuff! Enjoy and know that you are eating well.

Black Bean Soup:

1-lb bag black beans

2-10 oz cans rotel tomatoes

1 medium onion, chopped

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

1 Tbsp. minced garlic

14 oz can vegetable broth, or chicken broth

water

cajun seasoning to taste (I add 2+Tbsp)

3 shakes Red Hot sauce

1 Tablespoon Chili spice

Cover beans with water and soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain well. Place beans in a slow cooker. Add everything else. Add water until all is covered. Cook on high 8 hours.

Leftovers freeze well (Candace).

Oh, how we need winter! Enjoy the last few weeks of this amazing season.

In the depths of winter I finally found there was in me an invincible summer.
