Servings: 6 

Prep Time: 5 minutes 

Cook Time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 white onion, cut into ¼-inch dice 
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin 
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans organic black beans, with liquid 
  • 1 cup tomato salsa (favorite store-bought brand) 
  • 1 cup salsa verde (favorite store-bought brand) 
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian
  • 1 (4-ounce) can mild chopped green chilis 
  • Optional toppings: cilantro, cotija cheese, avocado, fresh lime juice 

Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cumin and sauté until onions begin to become translucent, 3-5 minutes. 

Add beans, salsas, chicken broth, and green chilis and stir to combine. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry, then finish with desired toppings. 

Cook’s Notes 

-If the salsas you are using are a thick or “chunkier” version, add more chicken broth to prevent the soup from getting too thick.
