Cuban Black Bean Soup

Soup Season – Part 2

Last week I shared with you the first part of my three part Soup Season blog series. My Homemade Chicken Noodle soup is truly our family favorite. This week I thought I’d share with you another one of my favorite go-to soups. It also happens to be one of the easiest soups to make – Cuban Black Bean Soup

Sampling Your Way to Deliciousness

One of my favorite things about shopping at Trader Joe’s and Costco are the samples! It’s a great way to try new things that you may have never thought of before. One of those things is Trader Joe’s Black Bean Soup.

Trader Joe’s Latin Black Bean Soup with Garlic, Chipotle, and Sea Salt is delicious enough by itself. It can be heated right out of the carton, but what fun would that be? By adding just three more ingredients, you can make a tasty, easy, delicious soup.

You can substitute out any of the Trader Joe’s ingredients for another brand. If you can use the one’s from Trader Joe’s, it’s worth it!

Trader Joe’s Cuban Style Black Beans is packed with bell peppers, onions, garlic, sea salt, and spices. These delicious canned beans are the perfect compliment to the Black Bean Soup.

Canned Chicken – great to always have on hand, canned chicken is fully cooked and ready to use. Just remove the lid, drain the liquid, and use it in chicken salad, soups, on top salad, or on whatever you’d like!

Be sure to break up the chunks of chicken meat before adding it to the soup.

Trader Joe’s Chicken Fried Rice – rice, carrots, peas, onion, and chicken make up this wonderful side dish that give a hearty lift to this Cuban Black Bean Soup. I have a pretty mild pallet, and I don’t do spicy foods, but most of my family does. If you want to kick up the heat on this soup recipe, swap out the Chicken Fried Rice for Trader Joe’s Chimichurri Rice. It has an extra kick that really takes this soup up a notch.

Enjoy a hot cup of this quick & easy soup on a cold winters’ day.
