Quick & Easy Black Bean Soup

Submitted by Jean R

"An easy soup to put together after work. I chop the onion, celery and garlic all together in my food processor. You can add leftover meat such as pork or beef, or vegetables such as corn, beans or potatoes. Try it topped with cilantro, sour cream, avocado or cheddar cheese."

This was made to be served before our Fajitas last night. I loved the spicy kick it had from the Ro-Tel tomatoes and my homemade salsa that I used. What a wonderful dish to get your fiber and protein in. Thank you for posting. Made for *Zaar Cookbooks Tag 2009* game
