Ingredients

    1 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight
    6 c. beef (or chicken or vegetable) stock
    2 bay leaves
    1 large onion, peeled and diced

Directions

1. Drain beans and discard water. If using canned beans, skip to step 3.

4. With strainer or slotted spoon, remove 2 cups of beans ad veggies from the pot and puree in a food processor or blender. Or, use an immersion blender and puree.
5. Pour puree back into soup. Add cilantro and pepper. Continue cooking for 20-30 minutes or until beans are soft and creamy.
