Sunday soup #8- black bean

Eat your beans, they are healthy and low calorie. The common bean is high in starch, protein, and dietary fiber. Also, an excellent source of iron, potassium, thiamine, b6, and folic acid. Black turtle beans have recently been reported to be an extremely good source of antioxidants. Black beans have a dense meaty texture and go well with many veggies and sauces, especially in Latin American cuisine. Here is a spicy black bean soup recipe I'd like to share.
