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!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.
