Black Bean Soup

I found this recipe online, and, of course, tweaked it a bit.  It was one of my best ones yet. It was stupid easy - a great work night meal. 

You will need:

• 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup chunky salsa
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 jalapeno, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• Vegetable oil
• sour cream and cheddar for garnish

 Saute onion, jalapeno, garlic and chili flakes. Once softened add cumin. Add beans, vegetable stock and salsa.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 or 30 minutes.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheddar.
