Cold weather is coming, Fall is here and it's soup weather! Here is a super easy and quick recipe from Dr. Dean Ornish. For 1 1/2 cups it only has 164 calories and packs in 8.6 grams of protein.
Quick Black Bean Soup
Diced red onion or green onion
Minced cilantro or parsley
Combine onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup vegetable broth in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and simmer until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth, black beans with their juice, tomatoes, potatoes, thyme, and cumin. Bring to a simmer, cover, adjust heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Add Tabasco.
This is my addition to the recipe:
After soup is finished, use an immersion blender, potato masher, or even put 1/4-1/3 of the soup into the blender. Blend or mash, then return to the pot and stir. This makes the soup creamy and thicker, without adding any calories!
