| Black Bean Soup |
| 4 cans black beans (drain all except 1 can) 3/4 can chicken broth Orange juice (1/4 cup or so)-I'd probably add more of this next time Juice of 1 lime 1 red onion 1 red pepper (or other pepper of choice) 2 cloves garlic (or more, if you're like me and love it) Black pepper and salt to taste 1-2 teaspoonfuls chili powder 1/2-1 teaspoonful cumin 1 teaspoonful thyme Limes, sour cream, cilantro as toppings Saut� onions, garlic, and peppers in olive oil or butter for 3-5 minutes. Add beans, chicken broth, OJ, and lime juice. Add seasonings to taste, and bring to a boil. If you want a thicker consistency (I did), you can dissolve some corn starch in water and stir into the pot (bring back to a boil for full thickening power). Simmer for 30-40 minutes and serve with toppings. (serving with Beano or Gas-X optional). |
