Black Bean Soup
Description
The Black Bean Soup uses canned black beans blended with chicken broth to create a smooth base, while the addition of whole beans maintains texture. The cooking involves warming the mixture with additional broth and salt, resulting in a thick, comforting soup.
Serving the soup over a bed of cooked rice adds bulk, making it a filling meal. Toppings like sliced avocado, a mix of cheeses, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, and fresh cilantro allow for customized bites with creaminess, richness, and contrasting crunch.
This serving method blurs the line between soup and a layered bowl, providing versatility. The use of canned ingredients simplifies preparation while still achieving a satisfying depth of flavor and texture through the combination of blended and whole beans.
Ingredients
- 3 cans black beans do not drain
- 2 cans chicken broth (or 30 ounces, divided)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups rice cooked

Instructions
