Black Bean Soup

I'm all about soups lately. Nothing beats plopping down in front of the TV with a sandwich and a bowl of hot soup. Well, maybe pizza.

Altered from The Veganomicon:

1 can black beans 4 cups water 2 tbsp olive oil 1 green pepper, diced 3 cloves garlic, diced 2 slices onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 3 cups veggie stock Fave spices: cumin, oregano, etc

Simmer black beans in 6 cups water for about 40 minutes Meanwhile, in a pan, heat oil. Add garlic. Heat until soft, about 1 min. Add pepper and onion to garlic. Heat for about 10 minutes, until soft. Add carrot to pan. Heat for about 10 minutes. Take out about 2 cups of the soup, mix in a food processor or blender, and return to pot. Add veggie mix and stock. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add spices. And enjoy!

I think next time I might add crushed tortilla chips on top to add some crunch.
