Steps:
- Add both cans of beans (NOT drained or rinsed) and the 1/2 cup of water to a saucepan and heat over medium/low heat.
- While your beans are heating, add your olive oil, onions, peppers, and garlic to a separate small skillet and heat over medium heat until everything is soft and translucent. (about 5-7 minutes)
- Once your beans are warmed and the vegetables are soft, take a slotted spoon and get a spoonful of beans (let the liquid drain out) and add the spoonful of beans to the skillet with the vegetables. (should be about 1/2 cup of beans but it doesn't need to be exact at all)
- Take the beans and vegetable mixture and press it down as much as possible to make a paste. I use a wooden spoon for this to make it easier. It's ok if not everything is completely smushed but you just want to incorporate the beans and vegetables together as much as possible.
- Once everything is incorporated, take everything from the skillet (beans and vegetables) and add it into the pot with the remaining beans.
- Add the rest of your seasonings to the pot. (Salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, sugar, vinegar.) Stir together and cook on medium/low heat for another 5 minutes and your done!

HOME CANNED CUBAN BLACK BEANS
This is a home canned version of a Cuban Black bean soup. If you want it creamy, you can puree a portion of the beans after canning (when you heat for seving). I adapted this from a traditional Cuban recipe for use in home canning. It is pretty good, I think.
