This recipe was given to me by my friend, Laurie Jo. Absolutely Scrumptious! But because I never could leave well enough alone, I added a small amount of meat and topped it with some other fun stuff right before serving. Laurie Jo knows me and will say "Kimber can't help herself, it's in her chart!" Thanks for sharing, Firlgriend...it's really yummers good stuff...and I'll be making this at Mom's house on one of those chilly North Idaho winter days!
3 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups of water with 3 beef bouillon cubes (low sodium, if you've got them)
2-3 tsp. chopped garlic
2 medium onions, chopped (original recipe calls for purple onions, I use what I have on hand)
1/4 - 1/2 pound ground turkey sausage-cooked, drained, crumbled
1 can Ro-tel diced tomatoes and green chilis or 1 1/2 cups medium heat salsa
1 can chopped tomatoes with the juice, no salt added
2 Tbls. ground cumin and 2 tsp. chili powder
2-3 T. lime juice
Fat free cottage cheese and medium heat salsa for topping
In large soup pot, spray with non-stick coating, over medium heat, toss in garlic and onions and cooked sausage. Stir for a couple of minutes and add rinsed black beans, Ro-tel chilis, canned tomatoes and juice, water and bouillon cubes, lime juice and seasonings. Stir well and bring to gentle boil. Continue to stir until everything is well blended and boullion cubes are completely dissolved (sometimes I dissolve the cubes in the 4 cups of water before adding to the soup).
Top each serving with a small amount of cottage cheese and salsa. Serve with a couple of warm corn or flour tortillas on the side.
