Directions:
- Soak 1 lb. of dried black beans in 6 cups water, either by the quick soak method (boil for 2 minutes, let sit one hour) or overnight.
- Drain the beans.
- Put them in a soup pot and add 8 cups of water.
- Add diced vegetables, bay leaf and oregano or Italian Seasoning.
- Bring to a boil, then turn heat to simmer.
- Cover and simmer until beans are very soft. This might take 2-plus hours.
- Stir from time to time and add water if it needs some.
- When beans are very soft, add 1/4 cup sherry, 2 teaspoons salt and black pepper to taste.
- Simmer another 15 minutes.
- Remove bay leaf.
- Puree with a stick blender if you have one, or in container of blender jar. (Safety warning: If you use a blender do not fill more than 1/2 full with hot soup and hold the lid on firmly with one hand to prevent volcanic eruption.)
- Garnish with avocado cubes or lemon and serve hot.
