Simple Black Bean Soup

Forethought Note: Soak the dry black beans overnight in a bowl with water to cover. Plan on making this either the night before (to cook overnight) or the morning of. It's wonderful to have dinner done hours before it's needed.


Ingredients
1 pound dry black beans
8 cups vegetable broth
1 sweet onion
Peppers of your choice (2 big green bell peppers OR 2 big anaheim chiles OR 2 7oz cans diced green chilies...whatever you have on hand)
2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 Tablespoon cumin (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves

Method
Chop the onions and peppers/chiles.
Rinse the soaked beans.
Put EVERYTHING in the crock pot and cook on high for 8 hours.

Top with sour cream and serve with sourdough roles.
Cheap and tasty. Plus, it makes the whole house smell amazing all day.
