Quick Black Bean Soup

dreamer12151 · September 2013

So I made this tonight...and I liked it! I decided not to take the word of the original recipe (sorry, OP!) and to double check the calculations, and I came up with a lower number of calories. Then, I made up the recipe, stopping with only 1 can of broth. I found it didn't need the 2nd can. Here's what I used:

2 cans - Goya black beans (630 calories total)
1 can - Swanson's Chicken broth 33% less sodium (30 calories total) - I had this already on hand
1/2 cup - 505 Southwestern All American Salsa w/green chilis, mild (40 calories)
1/2 teaspn - chili powder (0 calories)

Grand total: 175 calories per serving! (1g fat, 36g carbs, 13g protein, 1290 sodium, 3 sugar)

Dinner tonight & 3 more are already in the fridge for later. Don't forget to add in your toppings, though...a little fat free sour cream & a smidgen of cheese & this was a great dinner.

THANK YOU for this.. it looks wonderful... but I have to wonder why you wait until fall? I'm the kind that can eat conch chowder in 99 degree heat and pour on the hot sauce! mmmmmm looking forward to making this thanks

I put the nutrition facts that were posted with the recipe when I found it, but now that you bring this up, I think my facts were off too. I think I picked an overestimated salsa through the database. Thanks for bringing this up!
