Fiesta Black Bean Soup Recipes

FAST FIESTA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, corn and beans; heat through. Garnish serving with cheese and sour cream if desired.

FIESTA BEANS

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside and let them soak for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
• Drain and rinse the beans, and then place them in a large pot. Add the garlic, green, orange and red bell peppers and the onions. Cover them with about an inch of water, and then add the ham hock or bacon. Next add the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans until tender, about 2 hours. Check the liquid level about halfway through the cooking process; if you'd prefer the beans to be less soupy, you can ladle off about a third of the cooking liquid.

FIESTA BLACK BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan with tall sides, sauté the onions in the olive oil until tender. Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the black beans and tomatoes. Bring to a boil and let cook for 2 minutes. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and pureé it in a food processor. Add the pureé back to the soup and add in the corn. Bring back to a boil. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Serve right away or let it simmer for 1-2 hours (it's worth the wait). Serve by itself (plain) or sprinkle some cheddar cheese and/or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt!
