BLACK BEAN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

Black Bean and Coconut Milk Soup image

From Fitness magazine February 2006. Very easy to make and vegan, too! As a suggestion, serve with Recipe #118085. Also, I like to cook up a pot of brown rice and add a large spoonful to each serving of soup for a complete meal in a bowl. Finally, I have reduced the coconut milk by half and the soup was still delicious! There you go!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, diced small
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo, minced or 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (NOT dried)
2 (15 ounce) cans whole reduced sodium black beans (or equivalent amount of freshly cooked black beans)
1 (15 ounce) can reduced-fat coconut milk
2 1/2 cups water or 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
salt
pepper
lime wedge
diced white onion
fresh cilantro leaves
diced firm tomatoes

Steps:

In a soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, cumin and chipotle. Saute, stirring occasionally for approximately 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup water, reducing heat to low, continuing to cook for 12-15 minutes or until onion is softened.
Add the black beans (plus the bean liquid if using canned), coconut milk, and 2 1/2 cups water or stock. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
Scoop out 1 cup of the beans and some liquid; place in a mixing bowl. Puree the 1 cup of beans until smooth then return to the soup pot. Stir to thicken, blending more beans if you wish to desired consistency. (Or you can use a hand held immersion blender and blend the soup that way.).
Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish each serving with lime wedges, diced white onion and cilantro leaves and diced tomatoes.

COCONUT MILK BEAN SOUP

This recipe comes from Tanzania. A friend from Togo brought me this recipe he found on the internet, because he knew I was looking for African recipes to post for ZWT4. Cooking time doesn't include the time to cook the 1/2 cup rice. Thanks Sylvanus!

Tips:

Use fresh coconut milk for the best flavor and texture. You can find it in cans or cartons in most grocery stores.
If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of cow's milk and cream. However, the soup will not be as creamy or flavorful.
You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
If you want a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add some chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the soup with a side of rice or bread.
