    Soup: 2 pt. Lone Star Black Bean Soup


    Source of Recipe


    Recipe from Top Secret Restaurant Recipes by Todd Wilbur

    Recipe Introduction


    This comes to 8 points for the whole recipe (not including the optional sour cream for a garnish).

    List of Ingredients




    2 15-ounce cans black beans (7.5 points)
    1/4 cup diced red onion (0 points)
    2 tsp chopped pickled jalapeno slices (0 points)
    1 tsp sugar (.5 points)
    1 tsp cider or wine vinegar (0 points)
    2 cloves garlic, minced (0 points)
    1/4 tsp salt (0 points)
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (0 points)
    1/2 tsp chili powder (0 points)
    Garnish
    4 teaspoons chopped red onion
    6 to 8 jalapeno slices
    1 tbsp sour cream

    Recipe



    Pour the beans along with the liquid into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining soup ingredients and mix. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered for about 1 hour, adding water if necessary or until it is as thick as you like. Serve each bowl of soup with a garnish of red onion, jalapeno slices, and sour cream arranged carefully in the center of the soup.

    Original poster's note: I usually get 4 servings out of the recipe and add 1 tbsp low fat sour cream to each bowl. So each serving will be 2.5 points.

    Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 big healthy servings as an entree
