5-INGREDIENT BLACK BEAN SOUP
★★★★★4.9 from 7 reviews
prep time: 2 MINUTES cook time: 18 MINUTES total time: 20 MINUTES
2-3 servings




Ingredients-

3 (15 oz) cans black beans, with liquid
1 lb. (about 2.5 cups) good-quality salsa, homemade or store-bought (I love the brand Herdez)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed (plus extra for garnish)
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced



Instructions-


Stir all ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve soup warm topped with additional fresh cilantro as garnish.


My tweeks- I used 1can of Black beans, my own salsa, sauteed onions, I.5 c chicken stock, 4 drops of lime juice.

I pureed about a cup of the soup, put it back in, stirred. I topped it with avocado cubes, a plop of sour cream and a few tortilla strips.


It was very quick to make and inexpensive.


Added, if you need to stretch it abit, serve with rice.
