The weather has hardly been spring-like here recently, more like winter.  Soup was called for to take the chill out.

1 onion, chopped
1 T. oil
1 28 ounce can tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 large can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked, chopped roast beef
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 – 2 T. chili powder (depending on your heat preferences)

Brown onion in oil in large pot until soft. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn heat down so that soup is simmering and simmer for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Makes about 4 – 6 servings. Serve with taco chips and a dollop of sour cream.
