Mexican Black Bean Soup image

This soup is a mixture of two recipes that I have for black bean soup. I love the flavor and it is great by itself or as an addition to a Mexican dinner. This recipe uses canned black beans so there is no soaking them overnight and you can also use a slow cooker so you can leave the house while it thickens. I have also added cooked, cubed chicken breast or shredded pork roast to make it even more hardy.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (15 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies (I use Rotel)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons ground cumin
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 lb bacon
4 cups chicken broth
sour cream
Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp, stirring frequently.
  • Remove bacon and chop coarsely.
  • Leave approximately 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in pan and add chopped bacon, onion, garlic, & bay leaf.
  • When onion is tender, add tomatoes and seasonings and stir until aromatic.
  • Add beans and broth.
  • Cook at a slow boil until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours (you may also use a slow cooker on low-med heat for this last step).
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on top.
