Southwestern Black Bean Soup, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

I had the best black bean soup in Mount Dora. I tried to make something like it at home. It didn’t turn out the same, but I liked it enough to post the recipe.

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 vidalia onion, finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp bar-b-q sauce
1 (15 oz) can black beans
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
16 oz veggie stock
1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper (to taste)

1. Heat olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat.

2. Saute onion, pepper and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.

3. Stir in bar-b-q sauce, black beans, chili powder, coriander, cumin, and oregano.

4. Add the veggie stock, vinegar and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

6. Serve immediately with vegan sour cream. Garnish with parsley.

We had this with a Greek Salad. I know it’s an odd combo, but it worked.
