[VEGAN] Black Bean Soup

[Floppy Diskette]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, though I generally keep dairy and meat to a minimum and sometimes I'll do vegan for a month for funsies. I used to be a chef for 8 years, and I used this recipe to get a job once. This soup takes about 10 minutes to make. My parents made it a lot for me growing up, and now it's one of my staples. It's good. And cheap. And feeds lots of people. Put it in your rotation!

 

P.S. I'm new here.

 

Ingredients

2 28 ounce cans black beans
3 avocados
4 plum tomatoes
1 bunch cilantro
3/4 shaker of Mesquite seasoning
1 bunch green onions
2 limes
2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Blend avocadoes, tomatoes and cilantro together with a little bit of water.
2. Place in a saucepot with 2 cups water and heat to a simmer.
3. Add beans, mesquite, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Finely chop green onions and add to soup, squeeze lime, season to taste.

Yum, great idea to add avocado in for creaminess and flavor.  I will have to give this a try, thanks!

Thanks for sharing! I may cut the cilantro a bit (I have the cilantro-hating gene), but it sounds lovely. Does it freeze/reheat well?

Do you dislike beans in general, or just black ones? I imagine another bean could be substituted - the big difference would be the color, which may look muddier in a brown or white bean.

What is in the mesquite seasoning? I'm afraid we don't have it here.
