4 cups dry black beans
Water (can use chicken or beef broth)
1 small onion, diced
1 fresh jalapeno, cleaned, de-seeded, diced
1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon salt

Spread the beans out on a counter and clean out any rocks. Rinse with cold water. Don't worry about soaking them, or any of that jazz. Place in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. The beans will expand as they cook so make sure the pot is only 1/3 full with beans. Add remaining ingredients. Keep adding water as the bean cook for about 3 1/2 hours. Then, let the beans boil down to thicken the broth.

Serve warm.
