Now that I cook dinner nearly every day, I’ve had to come up with some yummy dishes that are also easy to make. Monday I threw some ingredients in the slow cooker and came home to a batch of spicy chili. Last night we had honey Dijon skillet salmon and sautéed spinach. Both of these were delicious and simple meals, but I have figured out a shortcut to black bean soup that is life changing.
Life-changing Black Bean Soup
Ingredients:
2 cans of black beans
3 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
Spices to taste (I use chili powder, cayenne, smoked paprika)
Preparation:
Cook the garlic in olive oil in a small pan on the stove. Remove it from the heat when it gets a little color. (Be careful not to burn it because there is nothing worse in the entire world than burnt garlic.) Place all of the ingredients including the olive oil/garlic into your food processor or blender and puree it. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, heat and serve.
Easy! Right?! You’ll love it. Promise.
