Fireroasted Blackbean & Veggie Soup

This past weekend was great - It rained all weekend and for Dallas that was something unexpected after such a long hot summer with barely any rain to wet the ground.  The combination of cooler weather and rain was such a treat it made me crave some soup.  Grab a book and snuggle on the couch!

Here is a quick and easy hearty soup that you can throw together in less than 30 minutes!  All you need are some essential pantry items and this can be made quickly without a lot of effort which is perfect for when you come in from work and need something hearty and quick.   I was surprised that my son enjoyed it so much.  More ways to get more vegetables into a teenager without them realizing what your doing!


I just happened to have some cooked quinoa in the refrigerator that needed to be used up so I added it to the bottom of the bowl and then put the soup over the top.  So this was a really filling soup.




Fire Roasted Black Bean & Veggie Soup

1 Can Black Beans, Drained

32 oz Chicken, Vegetable or Beef Stock
