Easy Black Bean Soup Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel 2 Comments

Black Bean Soup at FoodApparel.com

Beans are kind of awesome. But they often get overlooked. They are a great source of protein which is a huge plus since the kiddos are sometimes picky about eating meat at young ages. Oh, and did I mention they are a lot less expensive than meat? Yes, a win all around.

Anytime we have a Hispanic dish served, I pretty much always have a side of black beans. Sometimes straight up plain does the trick, or throwing in a little bit of garlic and onion can be a quick, savory way to present them.

Well today I wanted to share another awesome way to enjoy black beans, and this time as the center of attention in this Black Bean Soup. It’s healthy, it’s yummy, and it comes together pretty easily. It’s one of those soups that can be enjoyed all year long. Give it a try!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cans black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 3.5 ounce can green chilies
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Place a stock pot on the stove and turn it on medium high heat.
  2. Pour olive oil into pot until it runs quickly in the pan.
  3. Place diced onion, celery, and carrots in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions start to become clear.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  5. Stir in black beans, green chilies, cumin, oregano, bay leaf , chili powder, salt, and broth.

  9. Puree until smooth with immersion blender or in a blender (in small batches and allowing a little steam to escape so it doesn’t explode.)
