Mexican Style Black Bean Soup

This is a fast and easy soup recipe for just tow people. It is frugal and delicious.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 white onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 chipotle pepper minced (I used ¼ tsp Chipotle Seasoning)
  • 1.5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt I didn’t use any extra salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the black beans, tomatoes, chipotle pepper, stock, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend part of the soup to thicken it slightly while leaving some beans whole for texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.)
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
