Super Healthy Black Bean Soup

Black Bean Soup
8 oz. Ham or Canadian Bacon
2 14oz. Cans Chicken Broth
1 Large Clove Garlic, chopped
2 Medium Carrots, grated
1 Large Onion, chopped
2 Medium Stalks Celery, chopped
1 tsp red pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
30 oz. Black Beans (a little less than 4 cups)

Cut up the ham, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion is tender (about 5 minutes). Stir in broth, carrot, celery and spices. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, divide the beans into equal parts. Mash half with a fork or potato masher. Add mashed and whole beans to the broth and heat through. Serve with sour cream, lime wedges, tomatoes, cilantro and cheese.
