Black Bean Soup

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

This is one of the easiest soups I’ve ever made and it’s delicious and very satisfying. I usually make a double recipe and freeze some of it to use during a hectic week.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups water
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder or regular chile powder
3 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8-ounce) bottle salsa
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)

Cooking Instructions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute.
2. Stir in water, chipotle powder, beans, and salsa. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute.
3. Place 3 cups of black bean mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Return pureed mixture to pan. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender right in the pan to partially blend the soup.
4. Stir in lime juice; simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro. Sprinkle each serving with cheese.
