Black Bean Soup

1 pkg dried black beans
1 large onion
6-8 cloves garlic
1 quart chicken broth
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 pkg turkey kielbasa

Boil the beans for 10 minutes and pour out water. Replace with 3 quarts of fresh water and add chicken broth. Add chopped onion, crushed garlic, and tomatoes. Bring to a hard boil and simmer for 2-3 hours. Check water periodically to ensure there is sufficient water remaining. Saute the kielbasa until warmed through and add to the beans about 30 minutes prior to taking beans off the heat. Take beans off the heat when the beans are soft, but before they turn mushy. Add salt at the end, so it doesn't absorb and lose flavor.

Serve with cornbread.
