Crockpot Refried Bean Soup

Tried this tonight with some trepidation. But we were totally blown out of the water by how good--and easy!--it was. I encourage everyone to give it a whirl.

Crockpot Smoky Refried Bean Soup
(Slightly adapted from A Year of Slow Cooking)
1 can of black beans
1 can of vegetarian refried beans
1 cup frozen corn
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup diced tomatoes (if you use canned, drain them)
1 cup diced carrots
1 tsp. garlic (I used a generous helping of garlic powder)
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Heaping 1/2 tsp. salt

Put your crockpot on high and dump in the refried beans to start "melting." Rinse the black beans and add them to the pot.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients and stir a bit.  Cook on high 3-4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours. (I always cook on low...)

We ate this with tortilla chips and big glasses of water because its spicy!! And delicious.
