Awesome Healthy Black Bean Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 (15 ounce) cans black beans (2 drained and rinsed)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 1/2 cups broth (I use chicken, but you can use any kind)
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 (10 ounce) can rotel, tomatoes and chilies
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro (or fresh-I recommend 1/4 cup)
sour cream (optional)
tortilla chips (optional)

Preparation

Place onion, water, broth and cumin in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat.
When onions are soft, place beans and rotel in the stock pot. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend with a hand blender. ( I don't like thin soup, so I only do this for 20-30 seconds)
Add diced tomatoes and cilantro. Simmer for 10-15 more minutes.
Serve topped with a bit of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips.
