Recipe: Black Bean ‘Nacho’ Soup

June 19, 2015

Recipe: Black Bean 'Nacho' Soup

Summary: In summer I eat crisp salads and I reminisce over the hearty soups of winter. That lovely smug feeling of having a soup on the stove, steaming up the window panes, creating a layer of warmth and goodness between you and the sheets of rain outside. Smelling those delicious scents of slow cooking and caramelized everything. All the while, knowing you can feed yourself and your loved ones. Well, cue the scratch on the record noise! This is whole, hearty, winter goodness but in record time. No long bubbling pot here. You can make this while reading the readers with you kids. Or as soon as you walk in the door, bedraggled from a long commute and a longer day. This is black bean bliss in a bowl. There was a time when canned black beans (the Mexican kind, not the Asian kind) were tough to find in Australia. But you can find them with the Mexican foods (next to refried beans), so don’t go looking in the section with chickpeas and stuff. This feeds two hungry adults but probably more if you make some easy rolls to go with.

Ingredients

  • 1 tblsp olive oil 
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/4 cup salsa – make your own or just use a jar of taco sauce (I promise I won’t tell)
  • 2 (400g) tins black beans, inc canning liquid
  • 1 cup water 
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp stock powder 
  • Chilli powder – your call
  • 1 lemon or lime, juiced
Instructions

  1. Add the oil, onion and soup pot and cook until the onions are translucent. If you are in a hurry, a little browning won’t hurt but don’t burn the garlic!
  2. Add everything else, except the chilli powder & lime. So add the salsa, beans and their liquid, water, cumin & stock. Bring that baby to the boil and allow to boil for 5 mins.
  3. Get out the potato masher and start mashing! Enough to thicken is the plan but go for a smoother texture if you want. I like some whole beans.
  4. Taste it and add some heat if you fancy, add the lime. Stir and taste.
  5. Eat with joy in your heart. Maybe add a little cheese. And then there’s joy in your heart…..
