Black Bean Soup

I know it's been awhile since I last posted anything. Been really busy with my wife having another kid, a baby girl this time :) helping my wife with her business and such. Here is a quick and easy dinner to make. You can prepare in about 20 mins and have it ready when you want it. Its great for leftovers or have it for a lunch with some crusty bread.

Ingredients

2 Cans of Black Beans - Drained and Rinsed
2 (400g) Cans of Chopped Tomatoes or 1 28oz Can if you are in the US
3 Chicken Broth Cubes
1.5ltr of Water (6 cups of water)
1 Tbsp of Sunflower Oil
1 White onion - Chopped
4 Garlic Cloves - Minced
1pk of Sausages - Sliced
1 Tbsp of Paprika
1 Tbsp of Cumin
Salt
Pepper

First the the water in a pot and start to bring it to a boil. While your waiting on the water to boil chopped your onion, mince you garlic, slice the sausages. Next drain and rinse the Black Beans. Once the water in the pot is boiling add the chicken broth cubes and stir. Heat a frying pan with the oil on medium-high heat, once warmed place your onion, garlic and sausages stirring occansionaly till the sausages are brown enough. Remember not to burn the garlic or onion. While that is happened place the Black Beans in the pot of water then add the tomatoes, spices and salt and pepper to taste. Then add your mix from the frying pan, stir, bring to a boil, then simmer. I simmer for about 2 hours. 1 Hour with the lid on, one with the lid off.

Enjoy :)
