I just learned a new trick. I you like black beans and you like soup, you’ll certainly appreciate this one.

Ingredients

1 15 oz. can of low-sodium blackbeans, drained and rinsed

1/2 jar of salsa (or more if you like)

cumin, chili powder, and other seasonings, to taste

Directions

It’s so simple! Just blend the beans and salsa in your food processor ’til a smooth soup forms. Heat on stovetop and serve with your Tex-Mex favorites.

Seriously, it’s that easy. I always thought making this kind of soup would require a skilfful hand to reduce the puree and cook for a long time, but this recipe is fantastic (and fast–the combination of which makes for a real winner in my book).
