Easy Mexican Chickenblack Bean Soup Recipes

EASY MEXICAN BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Give the tomatoes a good rinse. I usually de-stem them as well knowing that any juices in the roasting pan will go in the blender too. Roast the tomatoes in the oven (400F) for 20-25 mintues.
• Once the tomatoes have been roasting for a bit, saute the roughly chopped 1/2 onion in some oil over medium heat along with the peeled garlic cloves. You can leave the garlic cloves whole as all of this is going in the blender eventually.
• Add the roasted tomatoes to the onion-garlic mixture along with: 2 cups cooked beans, 2 cups stock, 1 chipotle in adobo, 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. I usually drain and rinse canned beans.
• Bring this mixture to a uniform temp and then combine well in a blender. I usually leave it a bit chunky. Be sure to use caution when blending warm ingredients as steam can create upwards pressure on the lid.
• Add the bean mixture back to the pan and bring it up to a simmer. Once simmering be sure to give it a final taste for seasoning! I added more salt at this point (so a heaping teaspoon total for this batch) and another generous pinch of Mexican oregano.
• Serve immediately with your choice of garnish. I used Mexican Crema, freshly chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where it will keep for a few days.
