Warning: The following recipe is simple, can be pulled from your pantry and made in minutes. If you are a serious food snob who feels that truly good food needs to be complicated, expensive and or difficult you may find the follow recipe a little ghetto for your tastes. If however you like the idea of a recipe that is fast and tastes great then by all means, feel free to continue reading.It seems like I always happen to live in a place that requires a well stocked pantry in case of some natural disaster; typhoons, earthquakes and hurricanes. Rarely do we ever experience such natural disasters but it pays to be prepared. Especially when I am working hard, forget to go grocery shopping and find that I need to make dinner. At times like this it really pays to be able to go to the pantry and whip up a delicious meal in minutes.

This is my kind of recipe: quick and easy, but oh so yummy. Can't wait to try it.
I'm a food snob, because I want it to taste great. It's not the cost it's the flavor that counts.
Love it. Plain and simple. Looks so good!
I love "can cooking" Carol…simple, quick and very economical!
Wonderfully done! I love your photographs. This one is very interesting. I like the way you have styled the soup with cream.
Have you thought about framing the photograph such that the shadow on bottom left can be eliminated? May be either by moving the light source, or framing such that the soup is in the towards the left side of the frame? Just a thought, I am not an expert, I am just learning :)

Hey, with soup like that on offer, I'd be movin' into the ghetto! :D
This would be a great soup to have for lunch on Thanksgiving while you're cooking the turkey and everything else. Love quick and easy, but I admit to being a food snob. I guess I have a split personality.
yummo…I love black beans and soup oh yes…but the best part about this is the low expenditure in my energy…go Carol!
Simply…. very simply, gluten free. Thanks for the idea. I love super quick in a hurry easy to make meals.
You know something? I don't care one whit about how long it takes to make something, or even whether the ingredients come out of a can. What I care about is how it tastes. And this soup has all the ingredients that make my mouth know that it will taste great!
This would be perfect after a trip to the gym!
Can't wait to try this easy, potentially delicious soup!
Thanks!!
Made this today for lunch – simply delicious! I don't think the lime(s) should be optional though – with it and the lime sour cream it was just perfect. And so easy to make!
I thought I would have some leftovers but it was all gone. I guess I will be making a double batch next time. Definitely going on the list of regular recipes.
Cheers!
Hi, could you tell me what size of cans for the black beans?
Thanks! :)
15 oz cans. Says it in the recipe.
oops!
Are you kidding??? I love black bean soup!
You’re site seems pretty nice. I was just a little thrown-off and taken aback by your use of the term “ghetto” as a warning for purist. It’s a little off-putting and darn near offensive.
Thanks for say my site is pretty nice :) That is just a bit of humor, no offense meant.
Made this for dinner tonight, and it is really good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
My pleasure and thanks for stopping by!
Sounds amazing! I cannot wait to try it!!!
Enjoy!
Hi Carol,
I am definitely not a food snob. :) I just finished eating this delicious soup. It was fast, and I topped it with cilantro.
Thank you, Stefanie
Haha so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you again…looking for another one of your recipes to try right now!
Haha, ok – enjoy!
