Too bad you can't just reach out and taste this soup. It is SOOOO good (and fast and healthy)! I went to the salad bar and took a scoop and chopped onions, chopped celery and shredded carrots. I sauteed these in a soup pan until they were all soft. Didn't take long.....maybe 8 minutes. Then I dumped one large can and one small can of black beans in there - along with some cumin (about 1t) and few shakes of ground chipolte pepper. Let them all heat and and put in 2 cups of chicken stock (I had made some a few weeks back in my pressure cooker and portioned it out into plastic containers and froze them). I didn't even bother to thaw it, just dumped in the froze lump. Heated it all up again and then shooshed it with the stick blender. I left it a bit lumpy this time. I usually shoosh until it is smooth, but I wanted to try it this way. We were split on the added texture. Half of the family liked it lumpy and have liked it smoother.
I added some cheese and non-fat greek yogurt to mine.....for added treats and protein.
Our son made the quesadillas for the family. He wanted to make sure I took a picture of this one particularly.....he liked how the cheese was oozing out. I used non-fat flour tortillas that I found at work. They tasted just as good as the full fat ones and I hope a bit better for us.
