Easy Vegetable/Black Bean Soup image

With most of the food in the house being saved for christmas eve/day, I was hard-pressed to find anything to eat. I decided to make soup out of canned goods i had in the house. Couldn't find a recipei liked, so i made up my own. It was really good and my parents couldn't eat enough of it. The tomato puree adds a thick body to the soup which makes it hearty and thick. I made this about a week ago and I may not have remembered all the ingredients or steps. If i left anything out I'll be sure to add it. However, this soup is really versatile so don't be afraid to make it your own! Any leftover vegetables would be a welcome participant. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons desired cooking oil (I used vegetable)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
4 (8 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can seasoned chili beans, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 (14 ounce) can tomato puree
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
3 -4 cups chicken broth (depends how thick you want it, you can always add more later. veggie stock can be substitued for a v)
salt and pepper
1 pinch cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • heat oil in the bottom of the soup pot. Add onion, garlic and carrot until the onion becomes clear.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the beans, corn, cumin, cilantro, and chili powder if using, and bring to a boil (not a rapid boil because the soup is pretty thick).
  • Add tomato puree and heat again until hot and steamy.
  • salt and pepper to taste. i personally didn't use salt because canned veggies are pretty salty on their own, but for people who like a lot of salt, i would add some.
  • The longer you leave the soup cooking on low, the better the flavors meld together. However it can be served immediately if you're in a rush.
  • Serve with crackers, because this soup is perfect for them! Also good with a little cheese sprinkled on top (whatever kind you enjoy).
