Black Bean Soup Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

Black Bean Soup Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

I love black beans and so do a lot of other people.  I have to order them at the customer service counter at the supermarket usually, because they disappear quickly from the shelves.  (Putting up an app for customer service orders might be an idea for an app developer.) 

The following recipe requires a crockpot and an immersion blender to make it.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

-1 cup dry black beans
-8 cups water for soaking beans
-8 cups water for cooking + water as needed
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1 large chopped onion
-1 teaspoon dry garlic
-1 (32-ounce) container beef broth
-1 cup salsa or ¼ cup jalapeño peppers
-1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

1-Soak 1 cup dry black beans overnight in 8 cups water.  Beans will triple in size overnight usually.

2-Drain and rinse beans.  Add olive oil, chopped onion, dry garlic, and beef broth to the crockpot along with the water.  Cover the crockpot and place on high heat for 10 hours or until beans are soft.

3-Cool soup and insert an immersion blender to purée the black beans to a smooth consistency.  Stir in salsa.

4-Ladle soup into individual bowls and sprinkle grated Monterey Jack cheese on top.  Microwave for 1 – 2 minutes.

Serve the soup with tortilla chips.
