Black Bean Soup
This hearty soup is delicious served with crunchy corn chips or over a bed of quinoa or brown rice. Canada’s Food Guide recommends choosing protein foods from plants most often for our health and that of our planet. Blenderizing all or even half of this soup can change it to a creamier texture if desired.
