Black beans and rice is one of my favorite meals and I always have leftovers. Time to make some delicious black beans and rice soup. Topped with crumbled tortilla chips and sour cream.
Reminder: I can not give you specific measurements of ingredients. Amounts are dependent on how much leftovers you have. Do not worry about this. Soup is very forgiving and you can always adjust flavors and liquid consistency.
Pour a small amount of olive oil in your soup pot. Add chopped sweet onions and allow to saute for 5 minutes. Add some chopped fresh garlic (optional). Add 1-2 cans of chicken broth, chicken stock or dissolved chicken bouillon, and leftover black beans and rice. Include some diced canned tomatoes and one large chopped carrot, and 1-2 bay leaves. If you need more liquid add water or more broth. Allow soup to simmer for 20-30 minutes as the carrots soften. Taste your soup and decide if you would like to add the following seasonings: salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Remove bay leaves. Serve with crumbled tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream on top.
ENJOY your delicious, healthy soup!
