Easy Black Bean Soup
1 hr (programmable pressure cooker)

$1.63/serving

Turn up the heat on soup! We love this spicy flavour (use only 1 tbsp for kiddos) and all the benefits black beans bring to the table. Nutritional powerhouses, black beans are bursting with plant-based protein, they support digestive health, and they promote cardiovascular and bone health. And yes, they taste great, too!


Ingredients

Toppings (optional): diced red onion, 2% plain Greek yogurt, sliced avocado, hot sauce

Preparation

PROGRAMMABLE PRESSURE COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to an 8-quart programmable pressure cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and marinade mix to pot. Stir to combine.
  3. Secure lid. Place steam release valve in SEALING position. Press MANUAL button, select HIGH, and set the time to 10 min. This will take some time to get up to temperature before the timer starts to count down.
  4. When the cook time has finished, naturally release pressure for 10 min.
  5. Using a long-handled spoon, push the steam release valve to VENTING position. Release pressure completely before opening lid.
  6. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  7. Divide into bowls and crush chips over soup. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.

SLOW COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and seasoning to slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover; cook on high 4–5 hours. The liquid should be bubbling and the onions soft.
  4. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  5. Divide into bowls and crush chips over soup. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.
