Ingredients
- 1 cup jarred fresh tomato salsa (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed

- lime (optional)
- dry sherry (optional)
Directions
- Heat the salsa in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and broth, then heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
- Cool slightly, then spoon half the soup into a food processor or blender and puree. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and heat through.

Quick Tip

Beans made from scratch have better flavor, but the cooking can take hours. Canned beans are a solid alternative, if you rinse
and drain them well.
