Simple Black Bean Soup

This has got to be the SIMPLEST black bean soup in the world!
The secret to this soup is buying the right canned tomatoes to season the beans. Around here, Charlie and I are addicted to Food Club’s Diced Tomatoes with Chipotle Peppers. If you live around a Brookshire Brothers, you can pick up a can for 59 cents. Let me tell ya, this particular flavor of canned tomatoes makes the best salsa you’ll ever eat! I’ve never enjoyed a store brand food item like I enjoy these tomatoes.
HERE’S ALL IT TAKES
- 1 (15oz) can black beans
- 1/3 (14oz) can diced tomatoes with chipotle peppers
- tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream (optional)
Stir together and heat in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot.
You’re ready to eat!
This has got to be the shortest recipe, I have ever written on Simple Daily Recipes.

This is a great way to spice up black bean. It’s a simple recipe and a fun way to have soup on a cold winter day.

This is the kind of thing I love to take for lunch. I can make it right there at work. Along with a little bit of cheese and sour cream, I also dice up an avocado and add some Tabasco or Habanero hot sauce. Perfect and easy.
