BLACK BEAN TORTILLA SOUP

I AM FAMOUS FOR THE OLD "WHAT'S IN
THE CABINET" MEAL. I ALSO TEND TO
GO FOR THE VEGETARIAN MEAL DURING
THE DAY. I LOVE THIS ONE.


1 CLOVE GARLIC MINCED
1 CAN OF WELL RINSED BLACK BEANS
1 CAN OF STEWED TOMATOES
CHOPPED CILANTRO OR PARSLEY
(I LIKE LOTS)
1 tsp CHILI POWDER
SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE
3 TORTILLAS - A USE FOR THE DRY ONES


SAUTE THE GARLIC IN A SAUCE PAN IN A LITTLE
OIL, ADD THE TOMATOES AND BEANS AND SPICES
AND HEAT THROUGH. AT THE END ADD THE
CILANTRO OR PARSLEY WITH THE TORTILLAS
CUT INTO STRIPS. THIN SOUP WITH SOME BROTH
OR WATER IF NEEDED. AGAIN, MAKE THIS YOUR
OWN AND CHANGE THE KIND OF BEANS, GREENS
AND SPICES. HAVE FUN.
