Black bean soup, the easy way.
My black bean soup uses canned beans, in my attempt to stick to the theme of simplicity in this site. Yes, it is sometimes possible to get a better flavor by cooking dried beans from scratch. However, this involves overnight soaking and several hours of simmering, as opposed to this recipes ten minutes of heating. This can, in fact, be great even with the canned beans, and this recipe is one of the staples of my normal diet.

Ingredients 1 tsp olive oil 2 cups salsa 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained 2 cups vegetable broth 1 16-ounce can refried black beans
Preparation 1. Heat oil in a large pot at medium setting. Add salsa and stir for approx. 5 minutes. 2. Add beans and broth, stir for an additional 5 minutes. That's pretty much it, make sure to choose your favorite salsa since that will provide the majority of the flavor. I usually add a few drops of hot sauce as well, to add kick. You can also try mixing this together with rice 50/50, and creating a complete meal out of it.
