Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 32 ounces black beans I like Eden brand because the cans are BPA free
  • ½ cup salsa verde
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large sauce pan, cook the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Add the black beans in their liquid, the salsa verde, salt, pepper, and about ½ cup water.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. If you are really in a hurry, you can do just 5 minutes of simmering. But the flavor will improve if you cook it a bit longer.
  • Remove from heat, stir in salt and pepper and blend with an immersion blender until the soup is somewhat smooth. I like to leave some larger pieces of bean in there.
  • Serve topped with tomatoes, cilantro, more salsa, or enjoy this soup plain.

Notes

Store leftover soup in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for 4-5 days.
You can add any topping you like to this soup. Try salsa, chopped peppers, tomatoes, fresh herbs, tortilla chips, or dairy free sour cream.
If you prefer a different type of salsa, you can use that instead of salsa verde.
