Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked black beans
- 2 tomatoes Roma
- 1 medium onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 serrano chile optional
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
- tortilla strips
- 6 tablespoons Mexican cream
- 1 avocado cut into ¼ inch cubes
- 6 ounces queso fresco a young white Mexican cheese
Instructions
- Roast the tomatoes, onion, and garlic until they are blackened. You can do this under the broiler or in a pan on the stove.
- Blend the roasted vegetables, cumin, and oregano until smooth. (Add a little water if necessary to blend)
- Next, blend the black beans with the vegetable mixture until very smooth. (Add 1 cup of water to blend, add more if necessary)
- Place the blended soup in a pan on the stove.
- Simmer the soup for one hour. (Add water if necessary so that it doesn’t become too thick.)
- Salt to taste.
- To serve, divide the soup into 6 bowls.
- Garnish each bowl of soup with the tortilla strips, 1 tablespoon of Mexican cream, 1 ounce of cubed queso fresco cheese, and the cubed avocado.
Notes
- If you use canned beans, be sure to rinse them well to remove the excess salt. You can substitute mozzarella for the "queso fresco." The soup will keep 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.
