4 	stalks diced celery
1½ 	cup diced red bell pepper
2 	cup diced onion
8 	cloves minced garlic
2 	28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 	cup cooked black beans

Saute first five ingredients over high heat in a heavy soup pot until just starting to get some color. 

Add remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for a t least and hour. Add salt and pepper to taste

This is a good recipe to put your own twist on. You could spice it up with a little cayenne or chipotle pepper. If you like it thinner just add some water. A few more vegetables wouldn't hurt either. Play around with it and have fun!
