Carib Black Bean Soup

By: William Anatooskin

"A creamy soup with a touch of Caribbean flavor. Uncle Bill's Tips: If using canned beans, reduce cooking time to 40 minutes after adding the beans. You may also use 2 (7.5 ounce) cans flaked ham if you desire a different flavor. Add ham to cooking pot after adding broth."

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dry black beans
6 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 stalks celery, chopped, with leaves
2 cups water
8 cups chicken broth

In a medium-size stock pot, add dried black beans and 6 cups of water, cover and let soak overnight.
