Introduction
This is an easy to make soup that's filling and tasty, with lots of fiber and protein. The level of spiciness can easily be adapted to your taste by omitting the salsa choosing the heat-level of salsa you prefer and/or using more salsa. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice, and I find that four tbsp of mild salsa give it just a little bit of extra tastiness.

Ingredients
-
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can no salt added diced tomatoes (with liquid)
1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup dry quinoa
5 oz frozen cut green beans
3 tsp vegetable broth powder
juice of 1 lime
4 tbsp salsa
garlic powder to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 cups water
2/3 cup water (for quinoa)
Directions
--To pre-cook the quinoa: IMPORTANT--the dry quinoa MUST be rinsed thoroughly prior to cooking to avoid a bad taste. In a small sauce pan, bring 2/3 cup water to a boil. Add the quinoa, stir, and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the water is absorbed.
--In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to brown.
--Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
--Makes 4 2-cup servings.
