Black bean soup - vegan - vegetarian - GF - Soy free



Tis the time of the year when the south gets cold. Being a west coast one, it is always fun, but abrupt, that first time the temperature plummets. And no matter if it makes you happy to grab your scarf and uggs, or it makes you want to hibernate until warmer days arrive, there is one thing for certain...

It's time for soups! 

You will catch me posting more than a few of my favorites here. So break out the bowls and spoons and get to warming your bones.

Here is the first one:

Black Bean soup

What you will need 

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 sweet onion chopped up all fine
1 jalapeno chile seeded and chopped fine
6 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp chili poweder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4-15.5 oz cans of black beans (no salt added)
4 cups veggie broth
2 cups of water

How to do it

Get yourself a big ole pot!

Heat the veggie oil in said pot. 

Then add the onion, the jalapeno and the garlic and simmer for 5 mins.

Now add the chili powder and cayenne and cook for one min.

Next add the beans, broth and water. Cook for 20 more mins.

It will look much a stew rather than a soup. If you would like the soup to be more creamy then you can blend it a few cups at a time until it is to your liking. 

Garnish with some cilantro, lime, and maybe some vegan sour cream if you are feeling it.

Yummy! I  know you will enjoy!
