Ingredients
2 1/4 cups (410g) black beans, dried, uncooked
8 cups (1.9L) water
2 cups (480mL) tomato sauce
6 Tbsp (85g) tomato paste
2 Tbsp (30mL) lime juice
2 Tbsp (30mL) red wine vinegar
1 cup (180g) onion, chopped
1 cup (150g) celery, chopped
1 cup (150g) bell pepper, (red or green), chopped
1 whole jalapeno chile pepper, seeds removed and chopped
2 Tbsp (20g) garlic, minced
2 tsp (5g) cumin
2 tsp (5g) chili powder
1 tsp (6g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
1/2 tsp (4g) pepper, freshly ground
2 Tbsp (5g) cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions
Wash beans and place in a large pot, cover with water and soak
overnight.
Drain beans and place in a large soup pot. Add 8 cups (1.9L) water to

Add all remaining ingredients except cilantro. Continue cooking for 30

Top with light sour cream or yogurt, if desired. Leftovers freeze
well.
