spicy black bean soup

Not only is this my favorite black bean soup recipe EVER, it's also very low in fat! I use the mild version of Rotel, and it adds just a hint of spiciness. You could easily kick-up the heat by using the traditional version of Rotel or by adding more red pepper flakes. Great with a little sour cream on top!
