Yummy Homemade Black Bean Soup


It is a cold crisp (not raining!) type of day. The kids are bored with the lunch menu as of lately (been pretty slim choices due to the holiday and being sick) so I decided to come up with something they might enjoy...a soup! Yes I know sound boring also but it wasn't! They were smacking their lips begging for more and the best part was that it was so simple and easy my kids could have done it!! Recipe below.

Black Bean Soup (Serves 2 - 1 1/2 c each)

Ingredients
1 1/2 c broth (chicken or veg - homemade or store bought)
1 can black beans (or 16 oz of homemade black beans)
1/4 c salsa (homemade or store bought)
2 oz Velveeta cheese or 2 slices of Kraft cheese (Experiment with various cheeses!?)

Directions
Blend the broth, beans and salsa in the blender (I used the soup option on mine) until smooth.
Transfer to a 1qt or more pot, cook for 5 minutes or until starting to bubble.
Add cheese, stir until melted.
Serve and enjoy!

It was so simple my oldest wanted to do it so he could have seconds! =-)

Until later...
