AS SUGGESTED I BLENDED ONE CAN OF BEANS AND LEFT THE OTHER WHOLE. I ADDED GARLIC AND A LITTLE HOT SAUCE. THIS SOUP IS INCREDIBLY EAST, TASTY AND QUICK. TRY DJ'S SALSA RECIPE FROM THIS SITE. VERY GOOD SALSA.

this soup is now going to be a staple in my house. My partner and I both loved it! So easy to make, and soooo delicious. We added a dollop of guacamole with the sour cream. We didn't have any green onion, so we omitted that. Perfect east meal for a cold night. We ate the 4 servings between us in one sitting, so double the recipe if you are actually cooking for 4 people. This is fantastic with corn bread!

This is fantastic!! I used rotel instead of salsa and kept some of the black beans (I used low sodium ones) whole. Added about double the cumin. This is fast, easy, and delish

Excellent!! With the advice of other reviewers, tripled the cumin, added 1 small onion and 2 cloves of garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, a bit of salt, and thyme. Will add cilantro next time!

For the short amount of time it takes to make this soup, it is awesome! Thanks for the recipe! As per other suggestions, I started off with about 1/2 cup diced onion, a bit of butter and chicken stock, and a tsp of garlic puree. I followed the recipe as is except for using chicken broth because that is what I had. I also reserved about a cup of whole beans and added them back to the soup after pureeing. I also added 1/2 can of corn packed in water. Because I used a mild salsa, I added a few dashes of Frank's hot sauce and about 1/8 of tsp of chipotle puree for heat and flavour. Topped with green onions, low fat sour cream, and a few crushed tortilla chips, I impressed my friend with a homemade lunch and my husband happily polished the rest off for dinner. If you're looking to cut back the sodium, President's Choice Blue Menu has sodium-reduced black beans and also canned corn packed in water (no salt at all).

So good, especially for how easy it is! Adding cilantro is a must- purée with bean mixture. I sautéed onions and garlic in pot first, then added bean purée. Added one extra can of whole beans. Garnished with sherry, sour cream, green onions and hot sauce. Delicious!!
