Mexican Black Bean Soup

Mexican Black Bean Soup
==Description==
===Ingredients===
* 1 lb. black beans 
* 2 tbls. Extra-Virgin olive oil 
* 2 onions, large, diced 
* 6 cloves garlic, minced 
* 1 cup tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped (fresh or canned) 
* 1 sprig epazote, fresh or dried (optional) 
* 1 tbls. Chipotle Chiles, canned, chopped (or 1/4 tsp. Cayenne) 
* 1 tspn. cumin, ground 
* 1 tspn. Coriander, ground 
* 2 tspn. salt
===Directions===
* Soak the black beans for 2 hours and drain.
* In a deep pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. 
* Add the onions and cook about 5 min. until translucent. 
* Add the Beans, garlic, and 6 cups cold water. 
* Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. 
* Reduce to a simmer. 
* In an hour or when the Beans are soft, add the tomato, epazote, Chipotle chile, cumin, Coriander, and salt. 
* Continue cooking until the Beans start to break down and the broth begins to thicken. 
* Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. 
* If you’re serving this soup immediately, you may want to thicken it by puréeing a cup or two of the Beans in a blender or food processor and then recombining them with the rest of the soup. The soup will thicken on its own if refrigerated overnight.
