Easy Black Bean Soup

Black Bean Soup

It's no surprise I love soup!
I recently made a wonderful Baked Potato Soup
and I've blogged about Zucchini Soup even a Spicy Roasted Corn Soup
I've made this soup a lot, and each time I wonder why I don't make it more often,
 it is quick, easy and delicious!

Black Bean Soup Recipe
Two cans of black beans
juice of one lime
small bunch cilantro
one jalapeño roasted(I roast it on the burner-then remove seeds leave them in if you like it spicier)
one container fresh salsa approx 15 oz.
two cups chicken broth

Black Bean Soup
In a food processor, puree the beans with the salsa, then add cilantro and jalapeño and process until all smooth. Add to a saucepan with the chicken broth and lime juice, bring to a simmer.
Top it off with sour cream. I topped mine with cotija cheese. Scallions are great too.
Dipping quesadillas into it is wonderful!
Takes about 15 minutes to have a really wonderful tasting soup!
