Soups and Stocks

Black Bean Soup (serves 6-8)

Ingredients

3 cans black beans with juice
1 yellow onion (chopped finely)
2 green bell peppers (chopped finely)
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 hand full cilantro ( chopped)
2 cups diced tomato
3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
Sour Cream for garnish

You may also want to have some corn chips on the side.

This soup can also be used as a sauce for filling for burritos, topping for enchiladas, or as a dip for the half time of the big game. (Go Notre Dame).

One suggestion is that you can add a variety of chilies to change the flavor of this dish. One would be Chipoltle chilies, I would recommend that you add approximately 3 oz for this recipe.

If using this for an appetizer, simply heat soup and pour over chips and add your favorite cheese and top with green onion.

Method

In a medium size pot add all ingredients except the beans. Let cook for about 5 minutes. remember to stir often. Add the beans and turn down the heat. Let simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes on low and serve.

Top the sour cream with a squeeze of lime for a refreshing flavor!

Always Cook With Love,
