Simple and Tasty Vegan Black Bean Soup Recipe

Total Time: 40 Minutes | Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Cook Time: 30 Minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients
3 cloves of garlic
1 yellow onion
28oz of canned diced tomatoes
15oz of canned black beans
2 cups of vegetable broth
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of dried parsley
1 tbsp of nutritional yeast
2 limes
Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions
1. Mince garlic and slice yellow onion.  Rinse black beans and set aside.

2. Heat a large pot to medium high heat and add in garlic and onion.  Saute for 5 minutes.

3. Add in diced tomatoes, half of the black beans, and vegetable broth.  Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, and nutritional yeast.  Mix well.

4. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

5.Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup to your desired texture.  This recipe purees about half of the soup mixture.  Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer a portion (or all) of the soup once fully cooled to a blender and puree.

6. Add in the remainder of black beans to soup and let cool.

7. When ready to serve, drizzle each serving with the juice from 1/2 a lime and top with fresh parsley.  Serve and enjoy!
