Black Bean Soup (fast too!) (from Julie Ann, at yaaps)
homemade vegan rolls
salad
vegan maple peanut butter cookies

Here’s the black bean soup recipe (from Family Fun):
1 c. tomato salsa
2 14.5 oz cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
2 c. of chicken (sub veggie) broth
1 t. lime juice
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro (which I always forget)

1. Heat salsa in saucepan over medium heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes. Add beans and broth, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes
2. Ladle half into food processor or blender and puree. Return to pot. Stir in lime and cilantro and heat again if needed.

I would double, prossibly triple the recipe for your company b/c it makes just enough to serve 4 people.

This soup has become my standard meal when a baby is born and everyone seems to enjoy it. It is seriously so easy and even though I prefer it with chicken broth, my friend’s meat eating husband really liked this.
