Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, thoroughly mash the rinsed and drained black beans using a fork or potato masher. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the salsa until well combined, creating a chunky base for the soup. (1 minute)

03

Step

Transfer the black bean and salsa mixture to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. (1 minute)

04

Step

Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to incorporate all ingredients. (1 minute)

05

Step

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook until the liquid reduces slightly and the soup thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. (10-15 minutes)

06

Step

Season the soup with salt, adjusting to your taste preference. (1 minute)

07

Step

Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the soup and stir until melted and creamy. (1-2 minutes)

08

Step

Continue to cook until the soup is heated through. (1 minute)

09

Step

Divide the soup between two bowls and top each portion with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Garnish with your favorite toppings like cilantro, avocado, or a squeeze of lime.

For a smoky depth of flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of chipotle powder while simmering.
Adjust the amount of vegetable broth to achieve your preferred soup consistency – add more for a thinner soup, less for a thicker one.
This soup is delicious served with tortilla chips or a crusty piece of bread for dipping.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese.
Make it vegan by using vegan cheese and sour cream alternatives.

    My kids loved this! I was surprised how quickly it came together. I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
