Black Bean and Corn Soup

I made this super easy soup recently nice and tasty but will be glad when the little one likes spice as it needed a kick ;-) Hope your having a good week, I am doing well, I had my third social media coaching client today having so much fun with this new venture. Then next week I am speaking about app development to Linking Greensboro a business networking meeting. Eek a little nervous as 45 people will be there, wish me luck.

Ingredients:

• one can of black beans
• 1/2 a red onion sliced
• one teaspoon of cumin powder
• salt to taste
• about 1/2 a cup of frozen corn
• 1/2 a green pepper chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic chopped
• a dash of smoked Spanish Paprika
• about a tablespoon of tomato paste
• one small tomato chopped
• some chopped fresh cilantro
• about 2 cups of water or vegetable stock 

Method:

1. saute the onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes 
2. add the tomato and let it form a paste
3. add the cumin, salt and paprika 
4. then add the black beans, corn and a little water with some tomato paste and simmer for 15-20 minutes
5. garnish with chopped cilantro

note: this dish would be great with a couple of chili's in it and a makeover by Girlichef !
