Here is how you make Ultimate Black Bean Soup:

Soak beans according to instructions on bag. Drain beans.In a large stock pot, add beans, chicken broth, carrots, celery, salsa, garlic and tomato paste. Add about 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until beans are mushy, about 3 hours. Mash or blend the soup until thick and creamy. Chop the sausage into bite size pieces, and in a separate frying pan brown in 2 Tbsp. oil. Add to soup. Deglaze the pan with a little water or broth and add to soup.Add all other ingredients. There is no need for further cooking, I like the fresh crunchy taste of the pepper in the soup. Makes 20, 1 1/4 cup servings.Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THEQUILTDR.
