Hearty Black Bean Chowder - Crock Pot - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium onion, diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, do not rinse, drain
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free refried beans (the hot ones if you like spicy)
1 cup fat free chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian's)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
6 tablespoons nonfat sour cream (optional)

Preparation

Combine everything EXCEPT cilantro and sour cream in crock-pot.
Cook on low for 8-9 hours. I like to turn crock-pot to high the last 20-30 minutes to allow soup to thicken.
If using, top with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro.
