Recipe Introduction


Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2-4
This is one of those recipes that you can put together in 5 minutes, yet it always is a favorite with everyone. Even kids like it-and vegetable haters too, although you may want to use a bit less hot sauce for those people.


List of Ingredients




3 15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ¾ cups vegetable broth
1 cup fresh salsa
¼ teaspoon ground oregano
¼ teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon smoked chipotle chili powder (optional)
several dashes hot sauce (optional)

Recipe



Reserve 1 cup of the beans in a separate bowl, place the remaining beans, the vegetable broth and the salsa in a blender jar. Process until fairly smooth, then pour into a saucepan. Mash the reserved beans slightly with a fork or bean/potato masher. Add to the saucepan with the remaining
ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

Hints: This is great to make ahead of time and then heat just before serving. Make a double batch so you can enjoy a quick bowl of soup when you are hungry.
