Easy Black Bean Soup

This is a really yummy and super easy recipe that I found at Spoonful.com. I recommend doubling or even tripling it if you want leftovers!

You will see the original recipe called for less cilantro but I LOVE cilantro so though the more the merrier and I was right!

Ingredients

• 1 cup tomato salsa
• 2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Juice from half a lime
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Heat the salsa in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for 15 minutes.

Let the soup cool slightly, then ladle half of it into a food processor or blender and puree it. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro and heat the mixture through. Serve the soup warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
