The shortcut is in the canned beans, the taste is in the bowls, and the smiles are all around the table!
What You'll Need
- 2 (15-ounce-each) cans black beans, drained
- 1 (10-1/2-ounce) can condensed chicken broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper (optional)
- 4 teaspoons sour cream (optional)
What to Do
- Place the beans, chicken broth, water, onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano in a blender jar or a food processor bowl. Process the ingredients for 1 minute, turn off processor and wait until the blades stop, then scrape down the sides of the container; process the mixture for another minute, until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Place in serving bowls and garnish with chopped bell pepper and sour cream, if desired.
