Does anybody else run out of things to pack for lunch at work? I'm not really a sandwich person so I'm always hunting for recipes that make good leftovers. I've posted black bean soup before but I've since perfected the recipe. It keeps for several days in the fridge and reheats really well.
First saute over medium-high heat, one small onion diced and 2 minced cloves of garlic in approx 2 tsp of olive oil. Then add 2 cans of drained/rinsed black beans, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander and 1 cup of your favorite salsa.
Then add 2-3 cups of water depending on how thick you like your soup. Bring to a bubble and then reduce to simmer for about 20 minutes. Taste your seasoning and add salt and pepper to your liking.
Add your favorite toppings. I like shredded cheese and avocado.
What do you usually pack for lunch? Or do you have a favorite take-out stop?
i need this in my life! i wonder if it freezes well?!
ReplyDeleteI love, love black bean soup but have never made it at home! This is great!
ReplyDeleteI typically pack whatever we had for dinner the night before...Usually the beginning of the week I have a better lunch since, i do more cooking on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour black bean soup looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I like the idea of adding salsa.
Cheers.

I have the same problem, I always fall back on greek yogurt/granola/fruit or salad. Yesterday I made a big pot of soup so I'll be taking that this week, its definitely tough.
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of this soup, it's perfect for winter!
I got an immersion blender for Christmas too! I love it so far. This looks delicious...I make a similar version that uses broth instead of water.
ReplyDeleteDeeelish!
ReplyDeleteI wish I got an immersion blender for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty boring during the week for lunch. I typically pack a salad to make sure I get my fair share of veggies for the day. I am trying to be better about making sure to include some protein (tuna, chicken, hard boiled egg) with my salad.
I really like the idea of putting fresh avocado on top of the soup..I will have to try that.
