Tomato Soup with Black Beans

I loved that homemade tomato soup so much, I had to make it again.  This time I added black beans.  I sauteed 1 chopped onion, a handful of baby carrots chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 red pepper chopped.  Once they were soft, I added 1 can whole tomatoes, a few shakes of crushed red pepper, and 1c vegetable stock.  I simmered this for 20 minutes, then added 1c whole milk.  I blended it with my immersion blender, then added 1 can rinsed and drained black beans and simmered it together for another 15 minutes.  We had cheese quesadillas with it, which were really good.
