Black Bean Soup/Refried Black Beans

My darling friend Amber sent me this original recipe to share with you and I think it looks so good! She is adorable, hilarious, and you can't help but learn AND be excited to live healthy when you watch her happy video:

Don't ya just love her? I do! I'm super-duper excited to share with you the delicious recipe she so ingeniously invented:

3 cups dried black beans, rinsed

1 yellow onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tbsp cumin

1/2 tsp oregano

1 tsp salt (although it doesn't really need it--miracle!)

4 cups veggie broth

3 cups water

Cook on low for 10 hours. When finished, take 3/4 of soup mixture and purée to desired creamy-ness with immersion blender (I used my Blendtec. They say to wait til it cools a bit but I didn't. I just pulsed it a few times.) Combine all soup mixture and serve with desired toppings. Would make a great chip dip or filling for burritos/tacos!
