Black Bean Soup and Surprises!

Recipe Alert!

What's Amazing About Black Beans

I was preparing beans for dinner tonight and getting some things ready when this awesome soup came together, so unintentional.  When I make black beans, I put half a can of beans in the blender and doctor it up making the base for the other beans to cook in. 

2 cans of Goya black beans

jamon seasoning 

sazon

fresh cilantro

fresh garlic clove

green pepper

1 can of corn

1 potato (optional)

In the blender place one can of beans, and all of the seasoning. (*Salt to taste, but Sazon and Jamon seasoning has high sodium content alone).  Blend until it becomes a thick batter, add just a little bit of water to loosen it up.  Dump the other can of beans in and cook in low.  

You can serve with avocado and boiled sweet plantain (maduro).  Whatt! Now this right here-  I am going to play with and see what else I can add to it.    

Other than the recipe, black beans are extremely healthy for you.  Some of the health benefits found in black beans:
