Soup's On

It has been so cold and blustery this week. I can't think of much better to eat than a good hearty, warm bowl of soup. In the winter, I frequently will pack soup in my lunch. Especially if it is nice enough for me to walk at lunch. When I get back from a brisk walk, the soup warms me up. I have many favorites, some of which I even make from scratch.

I have shared a few of my favorites here:

Taco Soup
Roasted Red Pepper Bisque
Egg Flower Soup

Here is a soup I usually make. It's not my favorite, as I don't generally care for beans, but my husband and kids enjoy it.

Black Bean Soup
Soup:
2 15oz cans black beans (can use dried beans, need to soak and add liquid to recipe)
1/4 c diced red onions
2 tsp chopped jalapeno slices
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
Garnish:
4 tsp diced red onion
6 to 8 jalapeno slices
sour cream

Pour canned beans along with the liquid into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer covered for about an hour adding water if necessary or until it is as thick as you like. Ladle into bowl and top with garnish.
