3. Meanwhile, saute in the olive oil, the red onion, garlic, green pepper, celery, coriander, and oregano. Add the chicken bouillon cubes and cook until they dissolve in the mixture, stirring occasionally.
4. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes and mix well in an electric blender.
5. Gradually add the cooked beans, using only enough cooking liquid to make the mixture creamy. Add the sugar (optional).
