Vegan Black Bean Soup
(Serves 2)
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large carrot, peeled & diced
1 garlic clove, diced
1 small piece ginger (the size of your garlic clove), peeled & diced
1 15 oz can black beans
2 cups veggie stock
1/3 cup tomato sauce
1-2 TBS oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
a pinch of cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1. Dice vegetables. I press the garlic & ginger directly into the pan with a garlic press. This way the juices also run into the pan.
2. Saute the vegetables on low for about 5 minutes. Stir to make sure they cook evenly.
3. Add spices to pan. Stir. Add black beans, tomato sauce & stock. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
4. Process the soup in food processor or blender until smooth. Pour into pan to reheat if necessary.
Enjoy with fresh bread or jalapeno poppers. This recipe makes a hearty serving with seconds for one person or 2 decent size servings with a side for 2. My picture shows the soup with sour cream on top- for vegans omit sour cream. Enjoy!
