Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (or two 15-ounce cans) canned black beans
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the canned black beans if you're using them to remove excess salt.
2. In a medium pot, combine the black beans, vegetable broth, salsa, and ground cumin.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup to your desired texture, leaving some of the beans whole for added texture. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer about half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
5. Stir in the lime juice, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt or more cumin based on your preference.
6. Serve hot, garnished with toppings of your choice such as avocado slices, tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream (optional).
