Black Bean Soup

Black beans are a tasty way to get protein in your diet from a non-meat source.  I have been working on this recipe making little tweaks here and there.  I think I have finally found the recipe that works best for me.  Its easy to make and I usually have everything I need  on hand.  Sorry I forgot to take a picture.

4 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
6 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
1 cup medium salsa
1 tsp cumin
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1.  In a large pot sauté the onion and garlic with just a little olive oil
2.  Add in 2 cans of black beans, stock, salsa and cumin
3.  In a food processor or mixer puree 2 cans of black beans 
4.  Add the pureed beans to the pot
5.  Simmer over medium for 30 minutes
6.  Serve.  I like to serve with avocado, low fat greek yogurt and green onion on top.
