As we're inching towards Fall (can you believe it's almost September?), I'm starting to get really excited about making soups. Here's a hearty black bean soup recipe I found in a work newsletter a couple years back. It's seasonally versatile, and I'm going to make this for dinner tonight, so I thought I'd share.
Easy Black Bean Soup
Ingredients:
2- 15 oz cans black beans, undrained
1- 16 oz can vegetable broth ( I use 1 tsp Better than Bouillon plus according water)
1/2 C salsa of your choice*
1 T. chili powder
Optional toppings:
shredded cheese
sour cream or greek yogurt
chopped onion
chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Mash one can of black beans with a potato masher or blend in a food processor. Pour both cans of beans into a medium saucepan. Add vegetable broth, salsa, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, and you're done! Top with extras.
4 servings
Nutrition information (without toppings) as per the original recipe:
Calories: 213
Fat: 2.7 g
Protein: 14.5 g
Fiber: 11 g
Carbs: 32.9 g
* Store bought fresh salsa works well, but I like to use this recipe substituting Hunt's fire roasted tomatoes, adding a handful of cilantro, and a fresh squeezed lime:

hmmm... Wanting to make this. Wonder if I could add some veggies to stretch it further and maybe reduce the carbs? I'm thinking onion, pepper, tomato (all in salsa, I know, but fresh is always good!), corn (though that wouldn't lower carbs any), carrots. Anyone else have suggestions?0

Good ideas! I would maybe go the direction of greens and add in some spinach, chopped kale, or cabbage. Maybe zucchini and chopped bell peppers too.0 -

I like how the chili powder and vegetable broth add an extra depth of flavor, and I think you might too! Corn sounds really good though, I'll try adding that in next time. This could also be a good soup to just assemble cold, portion, and heat in the microwave or stovetop, as it doesn't need to be cooked, just heated.0 -

This sounds a lot like Taco soup which my husband even loves! I will try it this winter for sure. The winters here in Illinois get really cold and this sounds like it could hit the spot!0

Yum...love black bean soup.0

All vegetables are carbs. If you add them, the carb count will go up.. Beans are a complex carb and a great source of protein and fibre and you shouldn't be concerned about their carb content.0
