Ingredients
6 cups of beans soaked overnight or from cans - rinsed and drained10 cups of water1 yellow onion thin sliced4 garlic cloves9 tsp veggie bouillon, low sodium2 tsp cumin1/2 tsp smokey salt, or more to taste30 oz of diced tomatoes with green chilies1 - 2 TB finely diced canned jalapeņo, use more or less to suit your taste preference1 medium eggplant in 1 inch cubes3 TB Worcestershire sauceSuggested garnishes: fresh lime or lemon juice, diced avocado, reduced or non-fat sour cream, crumbled tortilla chips, cilantro leaves, or additional jalapeņo
Directions
Soak 2 cups of dry beans overnight to yield approximately 6 cups of beans (or drain and rinse 6 cups of canned beans)

In a large soup pot simmer beans with 10 cups of water on a medium high heat.

As beans start to simmer add vegetable bouillon, onion, garlic, cumin, and salt. Simmering with the seasoning increases the overall flavor of the beans.

After about 40 minutes of simmering the beans should be tender. Canned beans only need to simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

Once beans are tender add tomatoes and eggplant cubes - let simmer on low heat until eggplant has softened and begins to mix into the broth.

Add Worcestershire sauce and leave to simmer on low heat until ready to serve, adding additional salt if desired.

Serve the soup with a squirt of lime or lemon juice and desired garnishes.
