Black Bean Soup
As winter approaches and my wallet becomes lighter from holiday shopping, my favorite meal to make is soup. It warms me up and is usually relatively cheap. This black bean soup is super simple and fast to put together on a busy night.
olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can of black beans
1 cup of broth
1/4 cup of salsa
1/2 baguette toasted and cubed, optional: top with cheese or butter and garlic
salt and pepper, to taste
Saute onions with olive oil and salt in pot until translucent Add black beans, salsa and broth. Simmer until hot. Use a handheld blender to blend the soup until about half of the beans are blended. You still want to see some whole black beans. Pour soup into bowls and top with the cubed bread. Enjoy!
