Ingredients
Mushroom and Black Bean Soup
- 1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 each red pepper, finely diced (or a combination of red and green pepper)
- 1 1/2 cups mushroom stock
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste, depends on how much salt is in your stock and your beans)
- 2 cups cooked black beans (a rinsed can of black beans makes this super fast)
Finish
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 each red pepper, finely diced (or a combination of red and green pepper)
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 each lime
- 1/2 cup sour cream (Optional but highly recommended!)
- 1 tbsp chipotles in adobo (Optional, basically however much you want to add to yours, my daughters abstain but that's their loss!)
Instructions
Prep
- Slice your mushrooms. Dice your onions, bell peppers, and garlic, etc.
Mushroom and Black Bean Soup
- Heat a medium sized pot/pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
- Add mushrooms to pan and sauté for 3 - 4 minutes, should be starting to release their delicious liquids.
- Add onion and garlic, and sauté another 2 - 3 minutes (careful not to burn the garlic!)
- Toss in red and green pepper and sauté 1 - 2 minutes.
- Pour in stock, cumin and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Let simmer a couple minutes then add the black beans and let simmer a couple more minutes (about 5 - 6 minutes total).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Finish
- Scoop about a 1/2 cup of rice to each bowl, ladle delicious soup over top, add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with the fresh cilantro and peppers, squeeze a bit of lime over top, and (optionally) your chipotles in adobo! Enjoy!
Notes
Just got through a big rain storm last night, still intermittent showers and cloudy today, so I thought I'd whip up a batch of this delicious goodness for tonight!
