Instant Black Bean Soup

2 15 oz. cans no salt added black beans, undrained
½ cup bottled salsa
1 Tbls. Chili powder
1 can (16 oz.) fat-free, less sodium chicken broth

Garnish with
Grated, cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro

Place undrained beans and liquid in a medium saucepan, partially mash beans with a potato masher. Place over high heat; stir in salsa, chili powder and broth. Bring to a boil. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with desired garnishes.

Notes: I run 1-1 ½ cans black beans through a food processor to puree them. My girls like this soup loaded up with sour cream and grated cheese and sometimes even chips.
