Salsalicious Black Bean Soup

I made the following recipe last weekend to the delight of both me and Paul. Thought I'd share. Enjoy.

Ingredients
2 (15 oz) cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup salsa
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder

Garnish
sour cream
2 green onions, sliced thin

Directions
1. In a food processor or blender, combine beans, broth, salsa, cumin and chili powder. Blend until fairly smooth.
2. Heat the bean mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat until heated through, stirring often. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream and green onions.

Variations

  • Leave one can of beans unprocessed if you like your soup less smooth.

  • Add extra broth if you like your soup thinner.

  • Garnish options include brown rice, guacamole, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, corn kernels, diced jalapeno pepper.
