We're calling this soup "Peachy-Keen," but the recipe can be made with any
fruity salsa. We're sure you'll agree that Pineappley-Keen doesn't have quite
the same ring to it...
Ingredients:
Three 15-oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
4 1/2 cups (36 oz.) fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
One 12-oz. jar peach salsa (like Trader Joe's Spicy, Smoky, Peach Salsa) or
another fruity, tomato-based salsa
1 tsp. cumin
Optional toppings: fat-free sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Directions:< /EM>
Pour about half of the rinsed and drained beans into a blender. Add around half
of the broth, half of the salsa, and half of the cumin (no need to be exact).
Blend until mixture is smooth and fully pureed, and then transfer it to a large
container with a lid.
Repeat blending process with remaining ingredients (excluding optional
toppings, of course). Add that batch to the container, and give the mixture a
good
stir.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (several hours is best), to allow
soup to thicken and flavors to blend.
Once you're ready to serve, stir soup thoroughly. (Soup may separate in the
fridge -- this is okay!) Transfer soup to a pot or microwave-safe bowl, and
heat on the stove or in the microwave until desired temperature is reached. If
you like, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro,
and/or a squeeze of lime. MMMM!
