I am in LOVE.... (with this recipe), It is so fast, easy, AND delicious!!
SO Simple black bean soup:
2 cans of black beans (undrained)
1 can of corn
1 can of chopped tomatoes and green Chiles
1-1 1/2 cups of water
1 half onion chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic minced
2 tsp cumin
3-4 Baked potatoes (depending on the size)
Start by Piercing the potatoes with a sharp knife or fork and place them in the microwave until soft, about 8 minutes depending on the size. (or bake them in the oven). Place water, onion, and garlic in a pot and simmer until the onion is clear, about 5-7 minutes. Then add the black beans, corn, can of tomatoes and green Chiles, and cumin, stir together. Next chop the potatoes into cubes, (I leave the skin on) and stir in. Serve warm with fresh avocados slices on top.
It is such a great recipe to make in a snap. I love making a large pot and having leftovers for a few days.
Try it, enjoy it! Let me know what you think. This is a no fail easy-peasy recipe. Have fun with it!

PROFILE
I am a mom of four young girls. I love to run and be active. In March of 2007 I tested positive for BRCA1, a known breast and ovarian cancer causing gene. I met with genetic counselors and was given the advice to have an elective mastectomy and oophorectomy to ensure my health. I knew that was the only way. We decided to have one more baby before the surgeries. We had twin girls in October 2008. I had many sleepless nights just waiting and wondering when the cancer would strike. In May 2009, after reading about a whole foods-plant based diet, ("The China Study", and "Eat to Live"). I decided I will not have the elective surgeries. I will use nutrition as my drug of choice. It's empowering to have this knowledge, and to be in charge of my family's health! I am so excited to learn more and share with you!
