What to Do

Coat a soup pot with cooking spray and saute onion over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add broth and water; bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain 2 cans of beans and set aside. In a blender, purée the remaining can of undrained beans until smooth. Add the bean purée and the rinsed beans to the broth mixture.
