Quick and Easy Black Bean Soup.

One can Black Refried Beans
Same amount of chicken broth
A shot of sherry if you like it.
Maybe a touch of olive oil
Salt, pepper

Heat to simmer and stir well, add more broth of you wish. Serve in bowl
with a spoonful of sour cream topped with a spoonful of salsa. Two nice
servings.
