Tropical Coconut Black Bean Soup Recipe 55

Steps:

• Combine black beans, tomatoes, coconut milk, vegetable broth, green onions, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and garlic in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until desired consistency is reached, 30 to 45 minutes. Season with salt.

Steps:

• 1) In a small saucepan, combine the black beans, coconut milk, peas, garlic, and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. 2) Pour soup into a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pan and stir in the lime juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Makes 3 servings. 1 serving = 12 Weight Watchers points.

Steps:

• Rinse 1 can of black beans, and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium. Add the cumin and half of the ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rinsed black beans and the remaining whole can of black beans (including the liquid), and the coconut milk; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you want a thicker consistency, smash some of beans with the back of a spoon as the mixture cooks, and simmer longer.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble the plantain chips into bite-size pieces. Add the lime zest and a few generous grinds of black pepper, and stir to combine.
• Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining ginger and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice a little at a time until the beans taste bright but the coconut flavor is still rich. Top with the seasoned plantain chips and serve with hot sauce for more kick.

Steps:

• In a stock pot or large saucepan, combine the black beans, coconut milk, peas and stock or water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Pour into a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pan and stir in the lime juice.

Steps:

• In a soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, cumin and chipotle. Saute, stirring occasionally for approximately 5 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup water, reducing heat to low, continuing to cook for 12-15 minutes or until onion is softened.
• Add the black beans (plus the bean liquid if using canned), coconut milk, and 2 1/2 cups water or stock. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
• Scoop out 1 cup of the beans and some liquid; place in a mixing bowl. Puree the 1 cup of beans until smooth then return to the soup pot. Stir to thicken, blending more beans if you wish to desired consistency. (Or you can use a hand held immersion blender and blend the soup that way.).
• Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper as needed.
• Garnish each serving with lime wedges, diced white onion and cilantro leaves and diced tomatoes.
