Black bean soup
2 onions (I usually use onion flakes and only about 2 Tbsp.)
6 cloves of garlic (I use garlic powder and only about 1 Tbsp.)
1 can (28oz) of tomatoes. They can be whole or diced. They're being blended. If you want one batch to go further, you can use a second can, but it will be more acidic.
2 cans (19oz each) of black beans. Strained and rinsed. 1/4-1/2 can separated.
1 tbsp, rounded some, Cumin. This is a must have.
1 tsp red wine vinegar or cider vinegar (optional)
1 can corn niblets or a cup of frozen corn.
Sour cream, grated cheese and nacho chips.
Cook onions and garlic in a big pot untill tender. If you're using onion flakes and garlic powder, don't bother cooking them separately. Add tomatoes, cumin, 1 1/2 cans of black beans (appx.), vinegar, and half of the can or half a cup of corn. Simmer appx. 20 minutes. Blend and return to the pot. Immersion blenders work wonders, as well. Add the rest of the black beans and corn. If the corn is still frozen, wait a couple minutes until it thaws and heats.
Garnish with sour cream and grated cheese. Eat with nacho chips.
Serves 4
This is such a good and easy recipe and it takes literally 25 minutes to make. Remains can be frozen and re-heated for later consumption. Use a double boiler and low heat for re-heating for best results.
