Personal Notes:
This is a fast, tasty soup that can easily be modified. I added a few more tomatoes and more chicken stock each time I've made it. I also think that the first time I made it, I only had two cans of black beans, and it was fine like that. It isn't very spicy as written. Alexander didn't mention the spiciness at all. So you could easily spice it up by adding more chiles (or a spicier chile, like jalapeño). You could easily add more vegetables to this as well--corn, zucchini, celery, carrot, cilantro--or substitute soaked dried beans for the canned or vegetable stock for the chicken stock.
