Mary's Black Bean Soup

This is my mom's black bean soup recipe and it's quick and easy. It's good with cornbread.

Mary's Black Bean Soup
5 or 6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
6 or 7 baby carrots, diced really small
1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 small can of chicken broth
2 cans black beans
salt to taste

In a medium size pan with medium heat, cook garlic, onions, carrots, and olive oil. While this is cooking, take 1 of the cans of black bean and the chicken broth and put them in the blender. Blend together until smooth. When onions are transparent and carrots are soft, they are done. Add the chicken broth mixture to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Add last can of beans and cook 5 minutes more. Makes 3 to 4 servings. Enjoy!
