1 lb black beans
4 ½ cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks celery, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
12-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12-¾ teaspoon ground pepper
8 cups chicken broth or 8 cups beef broth

1
Soak beans overnight in the water OR bring to boil then let stand for 1 hour; drain.
2
Mix in garlic, celery, carrot, onion, jalapeno and bay leaf in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then add to a stock pot and cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
3
By mixing the vegetables with the olive oil before putting them into the pan, you will maintain the good fats and essential minerals of the oil through cooking.
4
Add chili powder, cumin, cayenne and pepper.
5
Stir until aromatic, about 1 minute.
6
Add beans and broth.
7
Cook at a slow boil until beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
8
I have used more broth to make it a soup.
9
Season with salt.
