Serves 4 ( 1 c. soup with 1 T. ham, 1T. cheese and 1T. sour cream = 5 points+ )
- ¼ c. chopped red onion
- ½ c. water
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 ( 14 oz) can fat-free chicken broth
- 2 ( 15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 T. lime juice
- 2 oz. lean deli ham
- 4 T. reduced-fat cheddar, shredded
- 4 T. fat-free sour cream
Place first 5 ingredients in a large sauce pot. Add 1-½ cans of beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Place bean mixture in a blender, removing center piece of blender lid to let steam escape. Cover opening with a towel. Blend until smooth. Return soup to pot. Add remaining beans and heat through. Stir in lime juice.
Heat a small frying pan coated with nonstick spray. Cook ham until lightly browned. Top soup with ham, cheese and sour cream.
Soups are my go to meals in the Winter, and especially ones I can take for lunch as leftovers the next day!
