INGREDIENTS
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
• Mash half of the beans to a slightly chunky or smooth texture. (Food processor/ blender).
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and sweet peppers and a light sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetable are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in the green seasoning, cumin and bouillon cube and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the mashed/ blended beans and water, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, add the rest of the beans and green onions.
• Continue to cook until the broth is flavorful and the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes.
• Add salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste.
Tip : If you would like a thinner soup add more water. If you desire a creamier soup remove 1 cup of the soup and blend until smooth.
