Black Bean Soup Recipe

I just thought I would share this recipe for Black Bean soup. It's really good, and it's getting to be perfect "soup weather!" I will be making a double batch this week. A tip: it is even tastier and thicker after being refrigerated overnight. Enjoy!

Spicy Black Bean Soup

Cooking spray
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic-chopped
3 - 15 ounce can black beans
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 - 14 1/2 ounce can ff chicken or veggie broth
10 ounce can Rotel type tomatoes*

*I will have to check the ingredients on this. If it's not acceptable, I will need to look for some crushed/diced tomatoes and add fresh chilis or jalapenos in myself*

Cook the onion and garlic in cooking spray in stock pot until soft. Place 1 can of beans (with their liquid), half the broth, the onion and garlic mixture and the cumin and pepper flakes in blender, pulse until pureed. Transfer back to pot. Puree the second can of beans with the remaining broth, add to pot. Stir the last can of beans, undrained, and tomatoes into bean mixture. Stir, bring to a simmer and simmer 20 minutes.

YUM!

CMD - that sounds SO good! I love soups for lunch as I can make a big pot on the weekend and then am good to go for several days of the work week!

Thanks!

(P.S. - post this on the recipe thread too!!!)

Wendy, we cook huge pots of beans and freeze them in meal size batches.
