How to Make Amazing Black Bean Soup In 5 Ingredients

  1. Heat 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite salsa in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Rinse 2 (15-ounce) cans of black beans in a colander. Add the rinsed beans and 4 cups of vegetable broth to the saucepan with the salsa.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. While the soup simmers, finely mince 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
  5. After 15 minutes of simmering, carefully remove about half of the soup and transfer it to a blender or food processor.
  6. Puree the soup until smooth. Pour the pureed soup back into the saucepan.
  7. Stir in the minced cilantro and the juice of 1 lime.
  8. Continue to simmer for a few more minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker the soup will become.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or crusty bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
