Just as with my Banana Breakfast Cookies, this soup requires very few ingredients- four base ones for the soup, and any toppings or add ins one desires. Another great feature is that it can be easily doubled or halved to adapt to whatever size serving one needs. The key to this soup is its texture. I use a high-power Ninja blender, which renders the soup thick and perfectly blended. Any blender or food processor would work well for this recipe.
It's important to note that the canned black beans should be drained beforehand. This results in a thicker soup and reduces the sodium content of the beans.
Ingredients
2 (15 oz) cans of black beans (drained)
1.5 cups chicken broth (I used chicken stock which can be used interchangeably)
1 cup chunky salsa (I prefer Jack's salsa or any fresh salsa)
1 tsp ground cumin.
Optional ingredients for toppings could be green onions, sour cream (dairy free or not depending on one's needs), or cilantro.
If so desired, the soup could be mixed with or served atop rice.
- Combine all ingredients into a blender.
- Blend on high for 2-3 minutes or until ingredients are evenly blended and smooth.
- Transfer soup to saucepan and heat until desired temperature. Use medium heat.
- Serve up and enjoy!
The recipe renders 3-5 servings, or about 5 cups.
Final thoughts
Four ingredients, four steps? Easy and satisfying. Although the arrival of spring and warmer weather will soon mean the end of my soup-filled winter, I will definitely keep this recipe close for a rainy day.
