"They'll Be Asking for Seconds" Black Bean Soup.



10 sun dried tomatoes (not packed in oil, if possible, or drain off oil and rinse)
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
3 minced garlic cloves,
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup water
3 cups undrained chopped canned tomatoes.
4 cups undrained cooked black beans.
1/4 chopped fresh cilantro
yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Cover the sun dried tomatoes with the boiling water in a small bowl.

Saute the onions, garlic, and cayenne in the oil for about 5 minutes in a soup pot, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent. Add the cumin, 1/3 cup water and the juice from the tomatoes. Add tomatoes. Cover and bring to boil. Lower the heat and simmer, for 5 minutes. Add the black beans and their liquid, continue simmering, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Drain and chop the softened sun-dried tomatoes, Add them to the soup and cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the onions are tender. Stir in the cilantro and remove the soup from the heat. Puree half of the soup in a blender or food processor and return it to the pot. If the soup is too thick, add some tomato juice or water. Reheat gently.

Serve each bowl of soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
