This hearty Black Bean Soup with Lime is a flavorful and nutritious dish that is simple to prepare. Perfect for a cozy meal, it combines the creamy texture of black beans with the zesty brightness of lime, making it a delightful option for a comforting dinner or a delicious lunch.
Instructions:
- If using dried black beans, soak them overnight in plenty of water. Drain and rinse them thoroughly before using. If using canned black beans, simply rinse and drain them.
- In a large pot, add the rinsed and drained black beans and 1 cup of water.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
- Add a dash of salt to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until you've reached your desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or lime juice according to your preference.
- Ladle the black bean soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, crumbled queso fresco, or sliced avocado.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of tortilla chips or crusty bread.
Tips:
- For a smoother soup, consider using an immersion blender or food processor to blend the black beans to your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, add some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Top your soup with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavors and presentation.
- Soak the black beans overnight to reduce cooking time and enhance their texture.
- Using low-sodium broth instead of water can add an extra layer of flavor.
