Easy Seasonal Favorite

Over the years, I have tried many versions of black bean soup.  This recipe is by far the easiest BUT it needs to be jazzed up.  I added taco flavoring, chicken and garlic directly into the soup.  When I served the soup, I placed a layer of steamed rice at the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup on top.  I gave my guests several topping options... tortilla strips, bacon, queso fresco, sour cream and chopped avocado.  I served quesadillas on the side.  All told, it was a great Sunday night dinner that took about 20 minutes to prepare.
