Black Bean Soup with Bacon

Description

I created this for a quick lunch with a few inexpensive ingredients and was very pleased. My husband said that this one is a winner so I thought I would share with others. I personally don’t care for cilantro but it makes a nice garnish. Serve with tortillas and guacamole salad.
