Black Bean Blender Soup Food

BLACK BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pan. Add the onions, garlic cloves and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the black beans, chicken broth, oregano, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
• Purée the soup using a hand-held immersion blender until very smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, you can use a standard blender to puree the soup in batches; see note.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and freshly chopped cilantro.
• Note: If using a standard blender, purée the soup in batches, being careful not to fill the jar more than halfway. Be sure to leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. (It may thicken up a bit while in the freezer; if so, just thin it out with a bit of water or broth while reheating.)

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer about three-quarters of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Return the soup to the saucepan and season with salt. Serve topped with cilantro and sour cream.

BLACK BEAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Remove the seeds from your squash, cut off the peel, then cut into small cubes.
• Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.
• Mince your garlic.
• Drain and rinse a can of black beans (or cook from dry).
• Warm avocado oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Then add chopped bell pepper and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Next, add the spices.
• Toss to coat the spices evenly around your vegetables.
• Add the cooking sherry/ wine and cook until it's reduced by (at least) half. This takes about 3-4 minutes, or longer if you use more. Scrape around the bottom of your pot to lift any spices/ flavor that may have stuck.
• Add the remaining ingredients.
• Cook until the squash is soft, about 10 minutes. I recommend adding a lid to the pot for the first 10 minutes, then removing it for the last 10 minutes (keep lid on if you like a thinner soup).
• You can speed the cooking process by turning up the heat to medium-high. I prefer a slightly longer cooking time to give the flavors time to meld together.
• Decide if you want to serve the soup as-is, partially blended or fully blended (it's a very thick soup when fully blended).
• Use an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor to blend the soup.
• For a partially blended soup, blend anywhere from ¼ to ¾ of the soup (recipe photos show about ½ the soup blended).
• Serve the soup hot and garnish with any of your favorite toppings like cilantro, vegan sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, pepitas, sprinkle of smoked paprika, etc.

Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, cook until beans and meat are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Pull the pot off the heat and cool slightly. Remove the hocks from the soup, set aside to cool. Remove the meat from the hocks, discarding the bones, fat and skin.
