Black Bean Soup Recipe

Black Bean Soup Directions

Place black beans in a colander, look through the beans to see if there are any rocks and remove if there is.
Rinse black beans well in cold water.
Cover beans with 2 quarts of water and soak overnight.
Next day, drain the beans and rinse off foam if any.
Return black soup beans to pan.
Add 2 quarts of fresh water.
Put ham bone into pan.
Heat the oil in a small skillet, add the chopped pepper, onions, garlic and cook until vegetables are tender.
Add to the black beans.
Add the oregano, cumin, pepper and cayenne.
Stir bean soup well.
Bring soup mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for the allotted time or until beans are tender.
Season black bean soup with salt and serve.

Note: I like black beans served over white rice with fresh chopped onions and banana peppers on top. Yummy!
