Instant Black Bean Soup

I truly did like this recipe. It is simple to make, taste great, is low in points and is filling! What a perfect meal. I do not remember where I got this recipe from, but thank you! It makes plenty so it is great to take for lunch by itself or with a small sandwich or salad.
