Directions
This black bean soup has evolved over the years into a tomato soup with
black beans. It's fast; It uses canned ingredients. It's comfort food when
served with cornbread, also made from a mix. The only unusual ingredients
are the juices: carrot and apple. You could omit them but they calm the
tomato's acidity. Serves 4 when served with cornbread. Also good as a
topper for baked potatoes.
1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Soften onion with garlic and black
pepper. Add the chopped bell peppers, the Mexican spice blend and the
rinsed and drained black beans. Stir well to combine and add the stewed
tomatoes (Mexican style). Simmer, crushing the larger peices of tomato and
adding chicken broth to thin. Cook until the flavors are combined; about 15
to 20 minutes or as long as it takes to bake the corn bread.
2. Just before serving, add the chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stir
until aromatic. Serve in wide bowls, garnish with a few cheddar cheese
shavings; sprinkle soup with malt vinegar. PER BOWL: 183 cals, 2.5 g fat
