Roast pablano peppers over gas burner or under broiler until skin bubbles and begins to turn black.

Seed and chop roasted peppers.

In a stock pot, saute onions, garlic and peppers in olive oil until onions are glassy. Remove from stock pot.

Personal Notes:
To bean or not to bean? That's up to you, but most canned beans (pintos, kidneys or black) work well and should be drained and rinsed before adding. They should be added late in the process.
