Black Bean Salsa Soup
Description
This soup blends canned black beans with vegetable broth, chunky salsa, jalapeño, and cumin seasoning. The mixture can be blended to a creamy consistency or partially pureed for added texture. Heating through allows the flavors to meld and develop a hearty savory profile with spicy notes from jalapeño and cumin.
Toppings such as sour cream, scallions, cheddar cheese, cilantro, tortilla chips, or fresh pico de gallo complement the soup by adding creaminess, freshness, crunch, and additional layers of flavor. This soup works well as a filling lunch or light dinner.
Nutrition will vary based on chosen toppings and specific ingredient swaps.
