• 2 quarts chicken broth
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. cumin
• salt, to taste
• 2 quarts water
• 2 green peppers, diced
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1-2 onions, diced

Directions:

Soak beans overnight and drain. Bring beans to boil in water and chicken broth and simmer until soft. Add vegetables and spices and simmer 30 minutes longer. Serve with rice, fresh minced onion and tortillas. Serves many. On the first day it is like a soup, on later days it can be more like a stew or dip as this thickens.
