Vegetarian Black Bean Soup Mix

3 cups black beans, sorted
3 tablespoons dehydrated onion
3 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon crushed oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (do not omit)
Dried cilantro
Dried chopped onion
Dried lime slice

Attach the following instructions on a gift tag:
Put in pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and cover beans with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until very well done (about 2 hours). Beans should be very soft. Add water as needed to keep beans from sticking. There should be some liquid left on beans when done. Serve over rice.
