directions

  • About 5 hours before serving:

  • Rinse beans. In a 4-quart dutch oven, or soup pot, over high heat, heat beans, water, salt and pepper to boiling; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 1 hour.
  • Stir in oregano, onion and tomato paste; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1-1/2 hours or until beans are very tender. Stir the pot once in awhile to make sure there are no beans sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • When beans are tender, remove the pot from the heat for an hour to cool down. This step aids in the pureeing of the mixture.
  • When the soup is cooled down, puree in batches in a blender or cuisinart. Return to a pot to reheat.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese on top, and serve
  • with flour tortillas, or a crusty bread, for dipping.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I are empty-nesters who moved to Nampa, Idaho in October, 2005. I love to walk, and here in Nampa it is particularly enjoyable because of all the animals, something that was not a part of my walks in California. I started writing about the subject of hospitality last year, and began posting the articles on our website, as well as "articles" sites on the "net". This has become a passion for me as I have watched people in our society becoming less and less connected. My husband and I are Christians, and as such, believe we have a responsibility to welcome others into our home, to be hospitable, if you will. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
