Black Bean Soup -- 5 Smart Points

I like black bean soup, but not whole black beans so I use a stick blender to make a rough puree of the beans when I make this soup recipe.  Once the beans are pureed, if you don't add some extra water, the soup will be really too thick.  I estimated adding 1 cup of water, you may want to add more.

BLACK BEAN SOUP
Makes 5 1/2 cups
5 Smart Points per cup

3 cans Bush's black beans
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. cumin
1 T. chili powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 cup water

Sweat the onion and garlic in a non-stick pan with a small amount of water.  Cook and stir until the onion is tender.

Put beans into a mixing bowl and puree using a stick blender, or, pour into a blender and puree them.  Don't over do it, you'll have no texture left in the soup.

Add pureed beans, 1 cup water, and spices to the onion and garlic mixture.  Cover and simmer abut 15 minutes.  Serve topped with sour cream, chopped cilantro, jalapeno peppers, or lime slices if desired.
