It’s no surprise I love soup!

I recently made a wonderful Baked Potato Soup

and I’ve blogged about Zucchini Soup…

I’ve made this soup a lot, and each time I wonder why I don’t make it more often.

It is quick, easy and delicious!

It can be made smooth or more chunky. 

I use an immersion blender to make the soup smooth. Often I add half the beans then puree the soup, then add the second half of the beans. 

If you want to make more soup, you can simply add another can of beans.

Sometimes I rinse the beans for a thinner soup, but most often I add all the contents of the cans, and if I still want it thicker I add a slurry of cornstarch and water to the simmering soup, it’ll thicken.

 

salsa, onion, jalapeno, black beans to make black bean soup recipe www.createdbydiane.com

 Top off the bowls of soup with sour cream, cheese, jalapeno, green onions, and avocado.

and

quesadillas!

I love eating it with quesadillas.

It’s also great served with tacos, taquitos, and chips!

This soup is a fantastic Mexican tasting item that can be served before a meal or alongside it, I even like it with some Mexican rice or white rice added in!
