Ingredients:
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.
Enjoy your rich and tangy Black Bean Soup with Lime. This simple recipe showcases the delicious combination of hearty beans and bright lime, making it a perfect dish to warm you up on any day. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
