Ingredients

• ½ cup vegetable broth
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ cup mild salsa
• 1 tablespoon sour cream, or to taste (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Thoroughly mash black beans in a small bowl. Stir salsa into the beans; transfer mixture to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Pour vegetable broth into the saucepan; stir. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces slightly and thickens to your preferred texture, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Season the soup with salt. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the soup and stir to melt. Continue to cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Divide between 2 bowls and top each portion with a dollop of sour cream.
