Bring the water with dry beans to a boil, and then simmer until soft. Or add the can of black beans to the boiling water. Start adding the onions and the garlic and the bouillon. The meat is added after the beans are ready, but continue the cooking for at least 20 minutes. The addition of black pepper or other spices may be done to your liking. Serving with a little grated parmesan or cheddar cheese will be appetizing and decorative.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
"Black beans are the aristocrats of beans," for they are "full flavored beans as well as more expensive than most." This was quoted from Crescent Dragonwagon cookbook, and I found that the soup produced was very tasty. They can be done somewhat plainly or dashed with various spices and fravors to make Hillbilly, Santa Fe, or Cuban styles. This is a plain and good recipe.
