1 1\/2 T. olive oil
\n1 large yellow onion, chopped
\n4 garlic cloves, minced
\n1 jalapeno pepper, chopped finely (I used this VERY sparingly so I could feed it to kids!)
\n2 tomatoes peeled and chopped
\n2 15-ounce cans black beans
\n2 potatoes, pealed and diced
\n7 cups water
\n1 bouillon cube
\n1\/2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
\n1 T cumin<\/p>\n
2 T. lime juice
\nsalt and pepper to taste
\nsour cream (I used fat free) as garnish with freshly chopped cilantro all around<\/p>\n
1. Pour the olive oil into a good-sized soup pot and saute the onion for 2
\nminutes. Add the garlic, pepper, and tomatoes, and continue sauting for
\nanother 2 minutes over medium heat, until it turns into a regular sauce.
\nStir often.<\/p>\n
2. Add the beans from their cans with their juice, potatoes, water,
\nbouillon. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low-medium.
\nCook slowly, covered, for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Add the cilantro, cumin, lime juice, salt, pepper. Stir well and continue
\ncooking for another 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and let the soup rest,
\ncovered, for 5 minutes. Serve hot and garnish each serving with a teaspoon
\nof sour cream in the center and freshly chopped cilantro around the sour
\ncream.<\/p>\n
I figured this has about 3 points per serving (makes 6 servings).
