Bean Soup

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 large can black beans
• 1 small can chick peas (cece beans)
• 1 small can red kidney beans
• 3 carrots
• 2 potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 large green pepper
• cumin, curry powder, Mrs. Dash, salt, pepper, bay leaf
• oil
• 1 small can diced tomatoes
• 1 cube vegetable boullion

Directions:

Cook the onion, garlic, and spices in the oil in a large saucepan. Add the tomatoes and the bouillion cube. Cut the carrot, pepper, and potato into 1/2" pieces. Add the beans to the saucepan along with 1 small can of water. Add the veggies. Simmer the soup for about half an hour or until the potatoes and carrots are soft. I like it with whole wheat pita but you can do whatever you like. Enjoy!
