Comfort Black Bean Soup

1. In a large pot, saute onions, celery, garlic, oregano and cumin in olive oil until onions are browning and celery is crisp-tender.

2. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, black beans, lime juice and cayenne (if desired). Bring to a boil then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.

3. When serving, garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and cheese. Soup will still be yummy without these additions but in our family, the tangy addition of the sour cream to the soup really kicks the flavor up!
