How to make Black Bean Soup
Sauté onions, peppers, celery, garlic and ham in a pot for 3-4 minutes. Add broth and beans and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Lower heat and mash the beans with a spatula or potato masher. Only mash about half of the beans or to your desired consistency. Add the spices and flour with a whisk; simmer over low heat for 5 more minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with finely chopped tomatoes and onions.
Diced (peeled) tomatoes, chopped carrots, spinach or eggplants add great color and flavor.
