POTATO, MUSHROOM, AND BLACK BEAN SOUP

Potato, Mushroom, and Black Bean Soup image

Simple, healthy soup with no necessary extra salt, sugar, oils, or processed food or what not. I had the idea for the recipe while reading Dr. Neil Fuhrman's book 'Eat to Live,' where he suggested making your own tomato paste with tomatoes, garlic, and onions; I figured that'd make an excellent soup base! It also goes wonderfully with fresh biscuits.
