Black Bean Soup

Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (14 oz.) vegetable broth

1 cup salsa (your favorite kind!)

Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, diced tomatoes, grated Mexican-blend cheese.

Preparation

Combine black beans, vegetable broth and salsa in a large saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.

Use an immersion blender to puree about 2/3 of the soup. It’s nice to have a few whole beans!

Serve with optional toppings if desired.
