“This is an awesome soup that is light and it doesn't contain meat. You could add lean beef or chicken for a variation of this soup.” Angee Owens - Lufkin, Texas
Ingredients:
3 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
3 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions, undrained
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon louisiana-style hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mash one can black beans; set aside. In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion, red pepper and jalapeno in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, cumin, coriander, hot sauce, pepper, bay leaf, remaining beans and reserved mashed beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
