Black Bean Soup
My version is definitely different than the regular black bean soup but this black bean soup has no pork fat. Cumin gives the soup its great flavor.

Instructions
Heat oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
Sauté the onion in the oil for about 7-10 minutes, until tender & lightly browned.
Stir in the garlic & cumin, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add in the tomato sauce, black beans, and water. Stir well.
Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer {uncovered} for 25 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.
Season with salt and red pepper flakes.
Remove from heat, and mash some of the beans into the soup. {I like mine smoother, so I use an immersion blender}.
Serve with optional toppings, if desired.
