Salsa Black Bean Soup

  • 1 28oz (750ml) can of diced tomatoes, with juice plus Epicure Selections Salsa Mix OR 1 jar (650ml or larger) prepared salsa
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • Vegetable, beef or chicken broth (see Epicure options on the left) – 3 cups or adjust to make the thickness of soup you like
  • Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Combine all ingredients in a pot and blend with a hand blender. You can use a regular blender, too – the blending can be done before heating, so it is safer.

Simmer for at least 30 minutes if you are eating it right away, or put in freezer immediately… the flavours will blend as it is stored.
