❤️ Why You'll Love It

Made with pantry staples, it is simple and easy to make.
It's done in less than 30 minutes.
It's freezer-friendly and easy on a budget.

🧾 Ingredients

Onion: Adds a sweet pungent flavor.
Olive oil: For cooking the onions and garlic.
Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
Black beans: I used canned black beans. You could make them from scratch before adding them to the soup. Pinto beans also taste great in soup. I used them in my 3 Ingredient Bean Soup recipe.
Vegetable broth: I used low-sodium vegetable broth so that I can control the amount of salt. You can use regular vegetable broth or even homemade broth.
Roasted green chiles: Adds a spicy flavor. You can use any green chiles. You could also use a jar of salsa.
Cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper: Add warm spices.
Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.

🔪 Instructions

Chopped onions and minced garlic in a large saucepan.

Step 1: Add olive oil and chopped onion into a large saucepan. Sauté on medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.

Vegetable stock, black beans, and the rest of the ingredients added to the stockpot.

Step 2: Add vegetable broth, black beans, roasted green chiles, and spices. Cook for 15 minutes. Let cool.

Half of the soup in a blender after blending.

Step 3: Blend half the soup in a high-speed blender and return to the pan. Heat and serve.

❄️ Can I Freeze It?

Make sure to let the soup cool completely before placing it in a freezer bag or air-tight container.
Liquids expand as they freeze, so don't fill containers or bags all the way full. For freezer-safe containers, leave about an inch of space from the top. For freezer bags, fill about ¾ the way full. Let out as much air as you can, and lay flat in the freezer.
Don't forget to label your bag or container with the date, or if you prefer, the date it should be eaten. You can keep soup in the freezer for 4-6 months, but flavors in the freezer start to fade around 2 months.
When you're ready to eat, let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in a saucepan or microwave.
