Vegetarian Black Bean Soup

[Guest guest]

As you can tell, I stumbled across this recipe in one of my non-vegetarian

type cookbooks, hence the name 'vegetarian'. It is very yummy and quite

easy to whip together.

 

Vegetarian Black Bean Soup

 

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 oz) vegetable broth, divided

2 cans (15oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup diced peeled potato

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4 to 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

2 green onions, sliced

 

In saucepan, bring the onion, garlic and 1/4 cup broth to a boil. Reduce heat;

cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in the

beans, potato, thyme, cumin and remaining broth; return to a boil. Reduce

heat; cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender

 

Stir in tomatoes and hot pepper sauce; heat through. Sprinkle with green

onions. Yield: 6 servings
