    The shortcut is in the canned beans, the taste is in the bowls, and the smiles are all around the table!

    What You'll Need

    • 2 (15-ounce-each) cans black beans, drained
    • 1 (10-1/2-ounce) can condensed chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 small onion, quartered
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper (optional)
    • 4 teaspoons sour cream (optional)

    What to Do

    1. Place the beans, chicken broth, water, onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano in a blender jar or a food processor bowl. Process the ingredients for 1 minute, turn off processor and wait until the blades stop, then scrape down the sides of the container; process the mixture for another minute, until smooth.

    2. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

    3. Place in serving bowls and garnish with chopped bell pepper and sour cream, if desired.
