Sopa Negra (Black Bean Soup)

This is a fantastic soup that we enjoy in Costa Rica. It may sound a little different, but try it, try it you will see! :) I will add a photo the next time I make it! :)

Ingredients
4 tablespoons chopped onions, divided
1 tablespoon red or green onion
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon light tasting olive oil
1 can black beans in their juice (or cooked black beans in their juice)
2 cups water (or 2 cups of bean juice if using homemade cooked beans)
1 tablespoon Salsa Lizano (or Worcestersire sauce)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 cups cooked rice (optional)

Directions
Sautée 1 tablespoon of onion, peppers and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add black beans with 3 cups of bean juice or can of beans with juice and two cups of water. Add Salsa Lizano and oregano. Heat until boiling. Lower heat so that it is at a slow rolling boil. Carefully crack whole eggs one at a time into the boiling liquid. Continue to cook at a slow boil until the egg yolks are just done. Combine 3 tablespoons of onion with cilantro. Serve Soup garnished with onion cilantro mixture. Add cooked rice to soup, if desired.
