BLACK BEAN SOUP: 

2 lbs cooked black beans 
1 cup leeks (onions will do if you can't get fresh leeks) 
couplea three or so garlic cloves, minced 
1/3 cup oil 
1/2 cup water 
fresh ground pepper & salt to taste 

Saute leeks and garlic in oil until soft 
Mash about half the beans in a pot, add leeks, garlic, 
   and everything else left 
Simmer till you're ready to eat it. 

If you want, you can add some salt pork or country ham. 

Some traditions hold you should eat it over rice....if so, 
   rubrics call for white rice only.
