BLACK BEAN CHILI SOUP



Black Bean Chili Soup image

We had a big winter storm come through which meant no quick trips to the grocery store. I have had to plan my meals around a pantry and refrigerator clean out. My plan was to make chili for dinner however; I realized that I had some beef stock in the refrigerator that needed to be used up...not wanting it to go to waste, my chili soon became a very tasty soup. I hope you all enjoy.

CHILI'S BLACK BEAN SOUP RECIPE - (4/5)



Chili's Black Bean Soup Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1/4 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
4 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 quarts canned black beans not drained
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
2 teaspoon chili powder
8 ounces smoked sausage cut small dice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a medium stock pot, place the olive oil, onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add the bouillon cubes, and allow to dissolve. Add the bouillon, cooked beans, and the remaining ingredients (except cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water) to sautéed vegetables. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook approximately 15 minutes. In a blender, puree 1 quart of the soup, and put back into the pot. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoon water. Add the cornstarch mix to the soup and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Serve with cornbread, white rice, or your favorite side dish. This recipe yields ?? servings.

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Good choices include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth are all good choices. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Add a variety of vegetables. This will make your soup more nutritious and filling. Good choices include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro are all popular choices.

Chili bean soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of chili bean soup that your whole family will enjoy.
