...Vitamix Black Bean Soup...

...Y'all already know how much I LOVE my Vitamix blender...

...and it came with a whole book of recipes...but there's also a website with a bunch more recipes...

...and that's where I found this delicious Black Bean Soup recipe...
...I had cooked a big pot of black beans specifically for this recipe...so I measured out 1 1/2 cups and rinsed those...and chopped an onion...

...I also got out some individually frozen chickpeas...I know those are black beans in the link too...but I have garbanzos frozen the same way...
...put some veggie stock and the sauteed onions in the Vitamix...
...added the black beans and the garbanzos...
...cranked that baby up to high...and let it run for 6-7 minutes...
...until the friction has 'cooked' the soup and steam escapes form the vented lid...

...it always amazes me...
...served this thick and creamy soup with some warm yellow corn tortillas...Scout had his with tortilla chips though...and ate it like a dip...it really is that thick...
...the amazing thing about this soup is how quick it is to make...if you have all the ingredients on hand anyway...and it is so so creamy...even with no 'cream' of any sort added...it was delicious...you can probably make it in a regular blender...you may have to process it for longer and then you could just heat it in the micro or on the stove...

...and today's nākd Bar flavor is...
...it's rhubarb and custard...
...so far...this is my favorite flavor...tangy and sweet...so good...

...and have a lovely day!

  1. I liked how in the beginning of your reviews of the bars you showed the ingredients. I end up wondering what is in them when you describe how they taste.

    Your scarf from yesterday is beautiful. What stitch are you using?

  3. My daughter is coming to see us tomorrow and I've made a big pot of onion soup. After our sprinkling of snow last night I think it's soup weather.

  4. How exciting! You have a Vitamix. I've been debating whether to get one of these this year, so I'll be watching your recipe posts with anticipation.
