Black Bean Soup

I got this recipe from a lady in our ward. It tasted so wonderful when she made it. You'll have to try it and see if it becomes a new favorite of yours too. The kielbasa sausage really adds a lot.

SAUTE:

1 chopped onion

1 chopped pepper (any color)

2 chopped carrots or a couple of handfuls of baby carrots

1 kielbasa sausage, chopped into pieces

When veggies are wilted ADD:

2-3 cups black beans (canned or cooked)

2-3 cups chicken broth (depends on how soupy you want it)

Season with 1/2-1 Tbsp of paprika (depending on the seasoning in your sausage) and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let simmer approximately 30 minutes. Serve over rice. Can add sour cream or cheese or both. Serve with corn bread or another hearty bread.
