Delicious Black Bean soup!

I wanted to share with you my recipe for a mexican-style, healthy black bean soup. I never measure the ingredients, so feel free to play around with the amounts!
Ingredients:
-1 large onion
-3 cloves garlic
-3-4 celery stalks (include the leaves for extra flavor)
-1 Tbsp cumin
-1 carton of organic chicken or vegetable stock (or water)
-3 cans of beans (I use 2 of black beans, and one of either white or red kidney beans)

Saute the onion in a little olive oil, add the celery and cumin. After a few minutes, add the broth/water, garlic and the beans. Simmer for about 30 min, then puree with a hand blender. Serve with organic blue corn chips (crush them on top). Optional, add a dallop of plain yogurt. Great naturopathic lunch!! Lots of protein, fiber, folic acid and some iron. Enjoy!
