Black Bean Soup

1 large onion chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, minced fine
2 10oz cans mild rotel tomatoes and chilie's

After soaking beans all night, drain and replace with enough water to slightly more than cover. Add chopped vegetables and simmer until beans are almost tender enough to eat. Add rotel and cook 30 minutes longer. Add corn and seasonings to taste. I sometimes add a few red pepper flakes to spice things up. Serves 8
