The Beer Tent

Great Black Bean Soup recipe

Southwestern Black Bean Soup
(I usually double or triple this)
Lot of prep but very tasty on a cold night


2 15oz cans Black Beans
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup tomato, diced
1 cup niblet corn
2 Jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 tbsp. fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Juice of 1 lime

Cook beans according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil. Saute bell pepper, onion, carrot, and garlic for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in broth, tomato, corn, jalapenos, and cilantro. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes. Drain liquid from beans; puree half the cooked beans in a
food processor or blender till smooth. Add whole and pureed beans to soup; heat 2 minutes more. Serve topped with shredded cheese. Makes about 6 cups soup.

I add all the beans and then take a blender full of the whole mixture and blend it until smooth and then add it back in. Rather than blending just the beans. Add the Lime juice at this point... 10 minutes later, Crack another beer and enjoy......

 

WTF: you cook soup and have no pictures. If you want the Soup Tent, you should make it. Any cooking recipes must have beer/drinking pictures if you want it to meet the high standards of site.

You've been slacking... I'd been drinking Beer and decided to spice up the Beer Tent. It's been like 7 months since you posted a mid day Beer pic anyway...

Updated the menu above as well.

 

But, where are the beer pics? Food looks great, but food without beer is just food.

 

in honor of your mean comment, I am going to drink beer after my massage this afternoon and take pictures. I have been a little remiss.
