Easy Black Bean Miso Soup - This is super quick & delicious

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 15-ounce black beans, rinsed and drained (or 1 1/2 cup cooked beans)
• 1 1/2 cup miso broth (see directions below – I used the miso paste)
• 1 cup homemade stewed tomatoes (or 1 can tomatoes, just be sure to add some great spices to liven it up. eg – 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp chili flakes)

Instructions

1. Bring all three ingredients to a boil in a sauce pan.
2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for five minutes.

Alternative

If you prefer to use miso instead of packaged miso broth, simply use 1 1/2 cups water in the recipe. After the soup comes to a boil, spoon 3/4 cup broth into a measuring cup, add 1 teaspoon miso, mix well, and pour back into the saucepan.)

I had this for a quick dinner, while the soup cooked I assembled a green salad - talk about quick, easy, delicious and yum! I can see this will go on my mental list of quick options when I get home hungry and tired.

 

I bought miso paste and only use it occaisionally - it's been sitting in my fridge for ages and keeps really well. Can be a great flavour booster for soups and dressings.
