Its starting to get Cold!! (In london that is.) Its really sad to see summer go, but lets be honest. Fall is totally cool too. The leaves change, it gets all, like, winter-smelling, you get to wear your favorite sweaters that have just been taking up all of the room in your closet all summer long…
Another stellar thing about fall is soup!! I love soup, it makes you feel all warm and full, its good for you (sometimes), and its so easy! Especially this recipe for black bean soup. Make it like I do, and you’ll be eating it for lunch everyday for a week and never getting sick of it. Yum. Here it is!!
3 Big Carrots- Diced
3 Stalks of Celery- Diced
1 Giant White or Red Onion- Diced
3 Cans of Black Beans
2 Cans of Tomatoes
Cumin
Vinger
Olive Oil
Blender
Big Pot
Directions:
Okay! Easy and Totally Yummy. You saute the onions, tomatoes, and celery in some olive oil at the bottom of a big soup pot. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Wait until it gets all soft, and then dump in the tomatos right out of their can! let that simmer for a while.
While you let it simmer, why dont you do something nice for yourself? Howabout a wee cup of tea and a book you’ve wanted to read? Go on, treat yourself.
———-Tea Break, 5 minutes————–
Okay! Time to add the black beans. This is very complex now, kids. Dump them in the pot. Seriously, just dump ‘um in.
————–Tea Break, 10 min—————
So its been simmering for quite some time now. If it seems a little thick, add some water! Then go to your blender.
Blend the soup, and then add the final can of beans (drained and rinsed). Also add a dash of vinegar (whatever you got, white, balsamic, apple cider) and i sometimes add a nice dash of infused olive oil of some kind, maybe mushroom, chili, or sundried tomato. It gives your soup richness and complexity.
You are ready to eat it now! get back to your book and your tea! Or the latest episode of True Blood! Whatevs. Enjoy xx
