Introduction

Delicious soup that tastes great garnished with your favorite Mexican toppings and served with tortillas Delicious soup that tastes great garnished with your favorite Mexican toppings and served with tortillas
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    2 cans black beans rinsed and drained (or yield from 1 c dry beans once they have been cooked)
    2 tsp lime juice (or a little more if you like it limey like me)
    1 cloved garlic
    1 1/2 tsp cumin
    2 c salsa
    1/2 c fat free sour cream
    1 c chicken broth
    1 lb chicken

Directions

Cube and cook your chicken. In a blender combine beans and salsa and blend until very smooth. Pour everything (cooked chicken, bean/salsa puree, and remaining ingredients) into a pot and heat. Add more broth if it's too think or simmer a bit if it's too thin. I like to eat it by dipping whole wheat tortillas in it so I keep it a little on the thick side. Original recipe called for 1 - 2 tsp red pepper flakes but it was spicey enough for my family without it. Garnish with your favorite Mexican toppings like cheese, sour cream, avacados, and cilantro. Makes 6 to 7 1-cup servings. This soup freezes wonderfully so I usually double the recipe and freeze half of it in individual portions for a quick meal later that's around 200 calories per 1 cup serving without the toppings.
