After a very chilly day today, I'm stirring up this soup for dinner. It's a favorite I haven't made in ages, and Friday nights call for super simple cooking (if any at all) around our house.Black Bean Soup
from Real Simple
1 cup jarred tomato salsa
2 15 1/2-oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
sour cream, salsa, cilantro for garnish
Heat the salsa in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and broth, then heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Cool slightly, then spoon half the soup into a food processor or blender and puree. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and heat through. Serve with sour cream, salsa, chips, etc. Makes 4 generous servings.
*UPDATE*
Jake, at dinner: Mom, what is this called?
Me: Black Bean Soup
Jake: I want to eat this for the rest of my life!

I'm definitely going to try this - I've always been a big fan of black beans, and this sounds really good and easy to make (plus, it sounds like it has Jake's approval, which must mean something).
Thanks for the recipe!
I'm so glad you posted this recipe. Your mom told me about it a while ago and I've been trying to remember how she told me to make it. Looks yummy. Thanks for letting me stalk your blog.
