Ingredients:
2 And ?quarts water or
-vegetable stock and stir
-into it
2 cupBlack beans and 2 bay
-leaves.
Procedures:
1Bring to a boil turn down the heat and let simmer a couple of hours until the beans start to get tender, then heat ?to ?cup olive oil (how much will your conscience allow?) and cook in it until tender but not browned 3 onions, chopped 2 green peppers, chopped 1 fresh jalepeno pepper, chopped (optional) 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, pressed 1 to 3 teaspoons salt, maybe more (taste it) stir this mixture into the simmering black beans and let cook until quite tender and flavorful.
2More salt may be needed, and if you have a chance to let the soup sit overnight at this point, it will be even better.
3If desired, puree half or all of this to smoothness; we like it half-pureed, half-chunky.
4If you do puree it, be sure to reheat it before serving it, either as is or cuban-style: bowls of steaming hot white rice and dishes of chopped raw onions are on the table, and each person stirs as much or as little rice and onions as they wish into their soup
