Black Bean Soup/Chili

The point is you can adjust the "soupiness" any way you wish. Brown 1/2 lb of bulk chorizo sausage in a soup pan. Remove the sausage and add 1C diced onion and saute until soft and then add 2-3 cloves minced garlic. Add 1T ground cumin, 2T chili powder, 1T oregano and 2T chipolata in adobo sauce(be careful with this stuff, it is very spicy). When the mixture is fragrant add the meat back to the pan. While this is going on puree 2 cans of black beans, and 1 can of diced tomatoes in a food processor. Add the bean mixture along with another can of drained black beans to the pot. At this point add beef stock, beer or water to adjust the thickness to your liking. Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour. Garnish with such things as diced onion, shredded cheese and chopped cilantro.
