It’s clearly faster and it should be healthy too, right?! Are we wasting our time? Should HurryTheFoodUp’s soup recipes just HurryTheFuckOff?” I quickly wrote down what I require from my ideal soup: It should…
…be at least vegetarian. …contain only moderate sodium levels. …taste great. …be reasonably priced. …and be available in any bigger grocery store.
I still haven’t found a canned soup that meets my requirements, especially with the sodium levels being the way they are. Where do they get all the salt from anyway? Do they use sea water when they’re making it? Some soups are so salty they could float a rock. Instead, I worked on perfecting my Black Bean Soup recipe, inspired by a visit to a Mexican mate’s house. You can whip it up in just over 20 minutes and it tastes so good you’ll be licking the bowl clean. Cumin, red pepper flakes, vinegar and cilantro do their magic and add flavor instead of a truck load of salt. Add some avocado and bread to make a full (and fulfilling) meal out of it.
Health Benefits – Spicy Black Bean Soup
I saved the best till last. The fiber to protein ratio of black beans is 1:1, giving you about 15g of both per serving. Apart from energizing you while simultaneously keeping you full, the high amount of fiber and protein helps to keep your blood sugar balance in check – something which helps to prevent type 2 diabetes in the long run (1, 2). Pretty awesome, right?! PS. A final question – do you ever buy canned soups?
