Quick Black Bean Soup

QUICK BLACK BEAN SOUP

I usually make this with leftover roast beef but it is good with ground beef too.  Its like a gourmet chili.  I like it with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans (or whatever you like)
1 can beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes
         minced garlic
         1/2 tsp thyme
         1/2 tsp cumin
one potato, peeled and diced
one carrot, grated or diced
leftover meat (ground beef, roast beef, chicken) or make it vegetarian.


Directions:

In a big pot, combine:

Beans (drained)
1 can beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes
spices to taste.

     Get that cooking, and add in peeled diced potato (about 1/2 inch cubes), 1 grated carrot, and your leftover meat.  Let it simmer until the potato is tender (about 25 minutes).  Serve with cornbread and honey.

This should be enough for two.
