Black Bean Soup
2 - 15oz (or so) cans of black beans
1 - can of chicken broth (vegetable or beef work okay)
1/2 cup salsa - pick your favorite
1 Tbls. chile powder (more or less - adjust to taste)
3-4 Tbls. fresh cilantro OR 1-2 tsp. dried cilantro
Shredded chedder cheese
Sour cream (low-fat is okay, but not no-fat)

Empty the two cans of beans into a medium pot, and mush slightly with a spoon or potato masher. Add the broth, the salsa, the chile powder, and, if using dried cilantro, the cilantro. Bring to a boil. Take it off the heat and serve. If using fresh cilantro, add it after taking the soup off the boil.

Serve in a large bowl, sprinkle the cheese over the soup and add a dollop of sour cream.

Niiiice. Black beans might be the world's greatest underrated food. Next to really fresh and not-too-salty gazpacho, there's no soup better.
