So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.-Franz Kafka


Black Bean and Corn Soup

1 med sized red onion chopped, 2 tblsp vegetable oil, 2 cans black beans drained, 1 can chicken broth, 1 can corn niblets, 1 cup chunky salsa, salt & pepper (season to liking), sour cream & lime (garnishes)

In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil over low heat about 5 minutes or until tender. In small bowl, mash one cup beans.
Stir mashed beans, remaining beans, corn, salsa, broth, salt and pepper into saucepan; simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until heated through. Serve w/ sour cream and lime wedge if desired.

This is one of the my favorite recipes to make from the Family Circle cookbook my roommate owns. It's so easy and only has about 191 cal/serving. Not only is it good for you, but its relatively cheap and vegetarian (you can use broth instead of chicken broth).

My suggestions are as follows: Add cheese, definitely add the sour cream, the more pepper the better, half a can of chicken broth, chopped tomato is a good substitute for salsa
