EASY VEGETARIAN/VEGAN BLACK BEAN SOUP



Easy Vegetarian/Vegan Black Bean Soup image

Hearty, yummy, and healthy! This is a really easy soup to make, it cooks really fast without many steps, and is very rich with black beans. Some fresh cilantro would make a nice replacement to the coriander but I usually don't have it on hand, so I used dry spices for everything but it came out great. I like my soups with a tad of salt, but you can omit the salt if you're watching your sodium intake or lower it/replace with something like SaltSense. It's very pleasant and mild, though you could probably put some Bayou Blast or red cayenne in the spice mixture if you want it hotter. Yields about 2-3 small servings.

EASY VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN TORTILLA SOUP



Easy Vegetarian Black Bean Tortilla Soup image

Quick, hearty soup with a bit of a kick. Can be made Vegan by omitting sour cream. Tame the spice down by substituting diced tomatoes for the Ro-Tel. I serve the soup with corn chips, but tri-colored tortilla strips add some visual appeal. I like to leave the black beans whole, but you can make it creamy by mashing the beans.

EASY VEGETABLE/BLACK BEAN SOUP



Easy Vegetable/Black Bean Soup image

With most of the food in the house being saved for christmas eve/day, I was hard-pressed to find anything to eat. I decided to make soup out of canned goods i had in the house. Couldn't find a recipei liked, so i made up my own. It was really good and my parents couldn't eat enough of it. The tomato puree adds a thick body to the soup which makes it hearty and thick. I made this about a week ago and I may not have remembered all the ingredients or steps. If i left anything out I'll be sure to add it. However, this soup is really versatile so don't be afraid to make it your own! Any leftover vegetables would be a welcome participant. Enjoy!

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 30m

Yield 8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons desired cooking oil (I used vegetable)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
4 (8 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can seasoned chili beans, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 (14 ounce) can tomato puree
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
3 -4 cups chicken broth (depends how thick you want it, you can always add more later. veggie stock can be substitued for a v)
salt and pepper
1 pinch cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • heat oil in the bottom of the soup pot. Add onion, garlic and carrot until the onion becomes clear.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the beans, corn, cumin, cilantro, and chili powder if using, and bring to a boil (not a rapid boil because the soup is pretty thick).
  • Add tomato puree and heat again until hot and steamy.
  • salt and pepper to taste. i personally didn't use salt because canned veggies are pretty salty on their own, but for people who like a lot of salt, i would add some.
  • The longer you leave the soup cooking on low, the better the flavors meld together. However it can be served immediately if you're in a rush.
  • Serve with crackers, because this soup is perfect for them! Also good with a little cheese sprinkled on top (whatever kind you enjoy).
