Black Bean Soup

    Ingredients

    • 2 medium onions, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
    • 6 garlic cloves, pressed
    • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 4 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black beans, drained but not rinsed
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 bunch cilantro
    • juice of 1/2 lime
    • Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
    • Sour cream, for garnish
    • Grated cheddar, for garnish

    Steps

    1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
    2. Stir in the beans, chili powder, chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes.
    3. Using a stick blender, blend the soup until the desired consistency is met. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Serve with sour cream or cheddar cheese.
