Here is how you make Black Bean Soup:

DirectionsPut the bacon into a large heavy pot and place it over medium heat. Cook until it starts to give up its fat, about 4 minutes. (Pour off most of the fat at this point.) Stir in the onions and cook, stirring, until they start to turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until you can smell it, about 1 minute. Add the broth, tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire, and chili powder. Add 2 cans of beans, use immersion blender and puree the soup at this point, and then added the remaining two cans. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the soup is bubbling gently and cook 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. I didn?t do this part since I didn?t add this stuff.Meanwhile, pick off all the thick stems from the cilantro. Wash it and shake dry. Chop the cilantro coarsely and stir it into the soup when it has been simmering 10 minutes. cook until the soup is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
