    • Add the salsa and cumin to the mashed beans mixture, and set it aside for later use.
  2. Cook the Soup:

    • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
    • Add the rinsed and mashed beans mixture to the pot, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
    • Allow the soup to simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken to your desired consistency.
  3. Serve:

    • Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls.
    • Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with cheese for added richness and flavor.
