Zesty Black Bean Soup

Ingredients

3 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups (16 ounces) low-sodium vegetable broth

1 (10-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

1-2 tablespoons lime juice, to taste (about ½-1 lime)

6 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt, divided

2 tablespoons sliced scallions (green onions), divided

Directions

1. In a food processor or blender, add the beans, broth, tomatoes with green chiles, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Blend until fairly smooth.

2. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat.

3. Bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer and let it cook until it is warmed through and the flavors have combined, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the lime juice and stir to combine.

5. Divide the soup between six serving bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of the Greek yogurt and ½ tablespoon of the scallions.

6. Serve warm, adjusting the flavor with additional lime juice as desired.

Recipe Notes

• For a chunkier texture, set some of the canned beans aside and keep them whole, then stir them in at the end of cooking.
