HEALTHY & HEARTY BLACK BEAN SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stock-pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
• Add onions, celery, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
• Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes until vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
• Add cumin, black beans, vegetable stock, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 30 minutes until the beans are very tender.

• Pour blended soup back into the pot and mix to incorporate.
• Keep over low heat until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh avocado, queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and tortilla chips.

HEALTHY BLACK BEAN SOUP WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Spray a soup pan with cooking spray and bring up to medium high heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for another two minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the broth, cumin, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add chipotle and beans. Cook covered for about 10 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve with a sprinkle of Cilantro or some fat free sour cream.
• **Variation Idea: I have tried this as a smooth soup -- brown off the turkey in a separate pan, following all of the other directions up until the point the beans are added. I use a hand held blender to blend up the soup. Afterwards I add the turkey and some additional beans to give a little texture.
