I found this super easy version in a back issue of Canadian Living. Great served for a simple weekend supper with a toasted western sandwich on the side.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
19 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, pepper, cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the onion is softened.
3. Add the black beans and stock and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. At this point, you can puree some of the soup, either by ladling into a food processor or using a stick blender.
6. Stir in the coriander (if using) and lime juice.
7. Dollop sour cream on each serving.
