Ingredients
  

  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 1 Green Pepper chopped
  • 1 cup Celery chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cans Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • 14.5 ounce can Diced Tomatoes with juice
  • 8 ounce can Tomato Sauce
  • 4.5 ounce can Chopped Green Chiles with juice
  • 14 ounce bag Corn frozen
  • 32 ounces Vegetable Broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions
 

  • Chop the onion, green pepper, and celery.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion, green pepper, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and tender.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, and onion powder. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the black beans and corn. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Notes

  • I prefer baby gold and white or shoepeg corn which has sweet and tender kernels. Fresh corn is also really good when in season!
  • Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When it's time to serve, simply reheat either in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • I love to dress up my soup with toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips! You could also add avocado, cilantro, and lime juice!
