Black Bean Soup

2 cups black beans

Water

1/2 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, diced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 chicken bouillon cube

Salt to taste

In a saucepan, cover the beans with water. Bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat and simmer.

Next, saute onion and garlic in the oil until lightly brown. Combine this with the beans and continue to simmer over low heat for several hours until beans are tender. Remove any foam as it accumulates. Add the chicken bouillon cube and salt to taste.
