The ingredients for Cuban-Style Black Bean Soup are:

1 large red bell pepper
1 medium yellow bell pepper
1 medium green bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1 medium onion (preferably white, but vidalia does quite nicely)
2 cloves of garlic
8 oz. chicken/beef/vegetable stock
3 cups black beans
1 tbsp paprika
3 tsp ground cumin
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Here is how you make Cuban-Style Black Bean Soup:

Heat olive oil in the bottom of a deep pot. (You'll need the pot because this recipe will give you leftovers for days!)Begin by sauteeing the chopped onion and garlic; be sure the pieces are chopped to a manageable size. (This is most important to ensure that the soup cooks evenly.)Once the onion has just started to lighten and turn soft, throw in the peppers. Make sure everything is chopped to the same relative size, both for eating comfort and to ensure thorough cooking.Once the color of the peppers starts to brighten and the onion is almost clear, throw in the jalapeno, paprika and cumin. When the veggies are coated and cooked to your comfort level, lower heat and pour in broth. (Vegetarians, enjoy your veggie broth, carnivores, I suggest the chicken--try for a low-sodium brand.)Drain, but don't rinse, black beans. Pour them into the veggie and broth mix, and simmer until beans are tender.This may turn out to be one of those 30-minute meals, especially if you saute' a few chicken breasts to throw in the soup and cook up some yellow rice for the side. You'll have leftovers for a few days, so I would reccomend this for a nice theme party, or a huge family.No cooking times are listed because it's a matter of watching the food!
