I love soup on cold winter days, don’t you? My husband has a thing for black beans and he absolutely loves Black Bean Soup! So I thought I would try my hand at making it for him.
I have tried many different recipes for this soup, but I just couldn’t get the right consistency to make him smile. Until I found one that had a neat trick in the directions to put the beans in a blender to make it smooth. In the past, I was smashing the beans with a potato masher and the soup consistency was just too thin and just wrong!
I combined my new found trick with my simple black bean with salsa soup recipe and the results were perfect!! It is a super easy quick soup to make for those busy weeknights.
Easy Black Bean Soup with Salsa
Ingredients
- 5 cans of black beans
- 1 1/2-2 14.5 oz cans chicken broth
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 16 oz jar of salsa
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- Toppings: cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions
Instructions
- Blend 3 cans of black beans with 1 1/2 cans of chicken broth in a blender.
- You may need to do 2 batches if it does not fit in your blender.
- Add the bean mixture to a large pot.
- Add the jar of salsa, cumin and chili powder.
- Add the can of corn and last 2 cans of black beans, drained.
- Heat on medium to a boil then set on low.
- Stir occasionally so soup does not stick to the bottom of your pan. Simmer for 30-45 minutes.
- Top with cheese, sour cream and green onions. Diced avocado would be great on this too.

Stopped by from Stone Gable…your soup looks delish!
Kim,
Thanks for sharing! This looks SO good & I plan on making some later on this week. Just one question; although it may be stupid, why drain the last 2 cans of beans? Is that to reduce the amount of liquid being added to the soup? I just was curious, because a lot of recipes that I have seen using black beans recommend that they be drained and rinsed. Thanks again & would appreciate you thoughts when you get a chance.

I drained them so the consistency would not be too thin. It really is your preference though. Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by!
YUM!!!
This would be great on a chilly day like today. Thanks for sharing!
Yum! Will have to make this… Thanks
I love soups in the winter time…looks gorgeous.
