2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
12 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced fairly thin
1 green peppers, chopped or 1 cup frozen diced green pepper
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 slices bacon
2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cumin
14-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 dash salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup soy bacon bits (they do add a nice flavor) (optional)

1
In a large pot, fry bacon until crisp, set aside.
2
(or just heat the pan and add olive oil).
3
In the remaining bacon grease (or olive oil) saute the onion, garlic, carrot, pepper & celery about 5 minutes, until fragrant.
4
Add chicken stock, water, lime juice, beans, bacon(or not bacon), and spices.
5
Bring to a boil, lower heat, and let simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender.
6
Being very careful not to get splashed by hot soup, take your potato masher, and mash the soup.
7
You could take some out and run it through the blender, but this works just as well, and is less dangerous.
8
Stir between mashings, and don't think you have to puree it, it's nice with some bits!
9
Serve hot, we like it with cornbread!
