Black Bean and Tomato Soup

Black Bean and Tomato Soup 

This is another recipe from Kim Barnouin that I whipped up for lunch today. Quick and easy and SUPER delicious. I definitely recommend this one!

Ingredients:

2 tbs of olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

2 15oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed

1 28oz can stewed tomatoes

½ cup frozen or fresh corn

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup water

1 tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp red pepper flakes

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Juice of half a lime

½ tsp salt

1 tbs chopped cilantro

Directions:

In a large soup pot, heat the oil and sauté onion in oil until onion is soft & translucent. Add the garlic and red pepper and sauté about 30 seconds. Add the chili powder and cumin and stir until well combined. Add the black beans, tomatoes, corn, water, oregano, red pepper flakes, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and simmer about 15 minutes. Using a handheld blender, puree soup to desired consistency (I like it a bit chunky). Add the lime juice and salt. Garnish with cilantro.
