Seriously Easy Black Bean Soup
It has just 4 healthy ingredients and I've made it hundreds of times. A true friend gave me this recipe ten years ago, and I've praised her name ever since.
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Optional
- green onions, sliced put on top
- fresh cilantro blend some in, or chop and throw on top
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients. Blend in a blender or with an immersion blender.
- Warm up and serve!
Notes
You can use canned black beans or do what I usually do: cook your own big batch of black beans in a pressure cooker or crockpot.
I make my vegetable broth with water and bouillon I make twice a year and keep in my freezer.
I use Pace Picante medium salsa, because we love it and Costco sells it for a good price.
You can jazz this up if you want, by blending in some fresh cilantro or putting some sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, or crumbled up chips on top.
Pair with some healthy cornbread or baked tortilla chips. Or just with a spoon. This is my easiest and best last-minute recipe.
This is great!!! Will you eventually share your bouillon recipe as well? I’m thrilled about your recipes. Keep ‘em coming!
