Quick Black Bean Soup
Canned beans are a great start for a pantry meal. The following is a quick version of black bean soup that tastes like it took a lot longer to make. So far my favorite salsa is Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic salsa which has a great garlicky flavor and is low in sodium. Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with chilis is also good alternative. You can garnish this with avocado, cilantro and sour cream to dress it up. Great served with cornbread.
Quick Black Bean Soup
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa or fire-roasted tomatoes w/ chilis
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 T red wine vinegar
1/2 t each cumin, chili powder
tobasco to taste
In a blender, lightly puree about half of the drained beans, the salsa and chicken broth. In a saucepan, saute the garlic clove in olive oil for about 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

I love pantry meals!
It’s amazing what you can pull together at the last minute, isn’t it?
Awesome soup. Quick easy DH loved it. We topped ours with tortilla chips. the kids treated it like a dip, but they ate it. It’s a recipe I’ll keep on hand for those busy days. Thanks
My Gracie will love this. At 2 years of age, she loves black beans and can handle a little spice. Thanks for linking up to TMTT.
Black Bean Soup is the BEST!!! I am going to try this recipe
Lisa, yeah. Good to hear of a 2 year old that likes black beans. They’re so good for you.
Desperate Cook, let us know how it turns out.
This sounds simple and tasty, and I have all those ingredients in all the time. A must try, I’ve never actually made black bean soup.
We do lots of black beans, they have a lot of fiber.
Denise, hope you like it
Brenda, we have black beans often as well.
