Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 oh, as it's quick & easy, & here's a recipe for black bean soup that a friend of mine made up during her days of being a poor pre-med student at barnard (she's now a poor med student at einstein); i first had it on our camping trips, & i've augmented it to my own tastes.
Step #2 it's great with rice, or even spaghetti.
Step #3 saute the onions & garlic in some water in a stickfree pan.
Step #4 once the onions have become translucent, take them off the heat, & put them in a pot (large enough to handle about a quart's worth of fluid).
Step #5 then, add your rinsed beans & enough water to keep them from burning, & to allow for maximum mingling of flavors.
Step #6 turn on medium heat, add spices as you see fit, & stir well.
Step #7 this will bubble some, so if you're concerned about your stove top, use a lid.
Step #8 keep stirring, tho' -- to prevent the burning on the bottom.
Step #9 it's done when the beans are cooked to your liking, & you like the consistency.
Step #10 this makes two servings each for a hungry boyfriend and a less ravenous woman one night, & enough for a lunch the next day.
Step #11 enjoy! -- ayanna Date: Thu, 19 Jan 95 10:44:08 EST.
