Speedy Black Bean Soup image

This is fast and easy, tastes even better the day after you make it, and you can embellish it with shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, salsa...the options are endless! I wish I could remember where I got it; seems like I've always had it! I like to add a little chipotle powder to "kick it up" a bit! I'm guessing at how many this will serve...because I'm not good at sharing!
