Black Bean Soup

I hardly ever make black bean soup the same way. Tonight's version was particularly well-received:

Black Bean Soup
olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
5-6 jalepeno slices, minced
2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can/box diced tomatoes (13.7oz)
lime juice (1 TBSP or so)
chile powder (to taste)
salt & pepper (to taste)

Saute onion, garlic, red pepper and jalepeno peppers over medium heat until veggies are soft and onion is translucent. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Add water if soup is too thick. Use potato masher to smash beans and make a nice gravy.

Serve with sour cream and homemade tortillas.
