Cuban Style Black Bean Soup

Recipe courtesy of Miami Dade County Public Schools, Department of Food and Nutrition Services.

Preparation

CCP: Wash hands thoroughly. Put on clean gloves.

  1. Clean and finely chop sweet peppers and onions. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan/stock pan, saute chopped vegetables until onions turn translucent --do not brown.
  3. Add seasonings - garlic powder, ground cumin, and basil to vegetables, and stir well.
  4. Add vinegar to the mixture, stir and let simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until thickens, stirring frequently so that the beans do not stick on the bottom of the pan.
