This has got to be one of the best recipes I have discovered since becoming vegan.
It has been over two years and in that time I have not only gotten married but also moved a few times. One of my favorite ways to make friends and get to know people is to have them over for dinner. That then means that they will look up some awesome recipes to bring over and thats how I discovered this one.
I love it because most of the ingredients are super cheap and easy to find.
Broke and vegan? use bottled lemon juice instead of the fresh lime and cook dry beans up. I usually cook half a bag up at a time and freeze the extras for later.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - sometimes I just use water
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups vegetable broth - I make my own and will add a link here one day about that
2 cans (15 oz. each) black beans, rinsed - about 2 cups of cooked beans
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 avocado, cubed
Juice of 1 lime
2 oranges, peeled and chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
Preparation:
1) Heat oil (or water) in the pot you plan to make the soup in. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Next add in your vegetable broth, beans, and seasonings. Bring this all to boil and reduce to a simmer.
2) While that is simmering away chop your avocado, orange, and cucumber. These all get put into a bowl and have lime juice squeezed all over them.
3) For serving ladle some soup into your bowl and add a heaping spoonful of the fruit mix on top. Enjoy!
