Easy Spicy Black Bean Soup
I love the combo of this easy spicy black bean soup in a jar with fiesta salad in a jar because it's a cozy and warm meal like I always crave in winter, but it's packed full of bright summery flavor. It's like the best of both worlds!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut or avocado oil
- 1 medium size onion diced (about 1 cup worth)
- 2 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon worth)
- 2 14.5- ounce cans seasoned black beans drained (about 4 cups worth)

- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne more or less, to taste
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and garlic and cook until just fragrant and tender, about five minutes.
- Add in the black beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the soup is has thickened.
- Divide into two pint-size Mason jars. Seal lids and stash in fridge for up to a week.
- To reheat in microwave: remove lid from jar, cover jar loosely with a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes-stirring every minute-until hot.
- To reheat on stovetop: pour soup into a small saucepan. Head over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot throughout-about five minutes.
Notes
Top this with chopped avocado and sour cream right before serving. I like serving it with some tortilla chips for dipping!
If you can't find seasoned black beans, regular canned black beans will work, too.

This is well named - was looking for a creamy thick type soup - this one was extremely spicy and too many ingredients just thrown together - not blended in any way. Sorry - just not a fan of this soup (too bad as I do like black bean soup).
