I love a warm bowl of soup for lunch on a cold winter day. I have a few favorite soup recipes, but I couldn’t find a black bean soup recipe that I liked. I wanted one that tasted like Chili’s black beans, but, you know, soupier.
I had this Chili’s black beans copycat recipe that I loved – with some modifications. I replace the onion with a couple of scoops of homemade Pico de Gallo, minus cilantro because cilantro is gross. Then, a friend sent me this super-easy black bean soup recipe. It was good, but not quite Chili’s black beans in a soup version.
Then, I had a stroke of brilliance – why not combine the three recipes?
The result? A thick, delicious black bean soup recipe that I love – especially on cold winter days.
Easy and Delicious Black Bean Soup Recipe
2 (15-ounce) cans of black beans
1 (14-ounce can) of chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 – 1/2 cup of Pico de Gallo
Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree some – not all – of the black beans. Enjoy!
I love having this soup with a turkey wrap – just some turkey, mashed avocado, mustard, and spinach leaves rolled up in a tortilla. Delicious!
What’s your favorite kind of soup?
/Shocked Gasp!! Did you just say cilantro was gross?! I’m so disappointed. LOL How can I trust anything else you say if you don’t like cilantro?!! HA HA HA Just kidding!!! I do love your site and your posts. Thank you for the recipe it looks delicious and will be EVEN BETTER WITH CILANTRO!! ha ha ha
I could rephrase it. Cilantro is disgusting. ;)
Kris, this soup sounds delicious and perfect with a sandwich for lunch. The temperatures have dropped suddenly here in Ohio and I know the kids and I will appreciate a warm bowl of soup after a morning of school… We like cilantro though, so may throw in a little:) I think my favorite soup is white bean and ham!
But what is your recipe for Pico de Gallo?…..
Nevermind! Got it. Don’t know why I didn’t notice the link before! Thanks!!
I love black beans! I’ll have to try this.
