Ingredients

    1 tb canola oil
    2 small onions (or 1 large), chopped
    1 tb minced garlic
    1 tb chili powder
    1 tb cumin
    2 tb sherry
    3 cups black beans, drained (I used 2 cans bush black beans in nutrition info)
    salt, to taste
    black pepper, to taste
    juice of one lime
    1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
    1/3 c light sour cream

Directions

Put the oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powser, and cumin and cook, stirring, for another minute.

Stir in the sherry and cook for a minute, then add the beans, 1 qt water (or veggie stock), and salt & pepper to taste. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup in the pan. (Or cool the mixture slightly, pour about half into a blender, and carefully puree.)

Add the lime juice and stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve garnished with 1 tb choped cilantro and 1 tb light sour cream.
