20 Minute Black Bean Soup
Description
This soup starts by pulsing some of the canned black beans to create a thickened base, while the remainder remain whole, providing varied texture. Onion and garlic are sautéed in olive oil, then combined with all the beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth, diced green chilies, and corn. The mixture simmers for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. If needed, broth can be added to adjust consistency, or the soup partially pureed for thickness. Just before serving, fresh lime juice is stirred in to brighten the flavors, and chopped cilantro is added as an optional garnish.
The soup is hearty and warming without long cooking times, suitable as a main or side dish. It pairs well with tortillas or warm bread. The recipe offers flexibility in seasoning and can be customized for heat.
