How to Make Awesome Healthy Black Bean Soup

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion. In a large stock pot, combine the chopped onion, 6 cups of water, 4 cups of vegetable broth, and 2 teaspoons of ground cumin. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the onions are softened, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1 (10-ounce) can of diced Rotel tomatoes (undrained).
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Carefully use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until it reaches your desired creaminess. Leave some beans whole for texture.
  6. Stir in 1 (14.5-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to deepen.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and crushed tortilla chips.
