Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cans black beans (BPA free), drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup salsa (our favorite is Newman’s Own Pineapple)
• 1 lime
• Shakin’ Jamaican Seasoning to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Line a small stick pot with a thin layer of the vegetable broth. Cook the onions and garlic on high for 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the broth and the spices. Reduce to medium. Add beans and salsa. Grate lime on a microplane, juice lime. Add to pot.

Add Shakin’ Jamaican to taste. Simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Transfer in batches to a blender and blend, or use an immersion blender to thicken soup. I left some of the soup intact so you could get some of the crunch of the onions and the texture of the beans.
