Ingredients

1 16-ounce jar salsa preferred spice level
2 15-ounce cans black beans drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon chili powder preferred spice level
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup vegetable broth or more, as desired

Instructions

In a large pot, combine the salsa with cumin and chili powder. Feel free to add any of your favorite spices/seasonings. I like to include dried oregano and smoked paprika as well. Stir everything together then bring to a simmer. Cook until salsa is slightly thickened and the spices are fragrant.
In a blender, combine one can of black beans with the broth.* (see notes) Blend until smooth. Add to the pot along with the remaining can of black beans. Bring to a simmer and cook until soup has reached your desired consistency.
Season with salt & pepper, taste. Serve with desired toppings such as avocado, yogurt (or sour cream), chopped red onion, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro and enjoy!
