Black Bean Soup: Trader Joe's Version

1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped (1 shallot also works)
1 clove crushed garlic or 1 t jarred crushed garlic
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 t ground cumin
2 (15-oz) cans organic black beans (do not drain)
1 c (half a jar) chunky salsa
2 T lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
plain yogurt or sour cream

1. In a medium pot, saute onions in olive oil until they are soft and translucent

2. Sprinkle in cumin and garlic and saute for a minute, pour in black beans (including juices), salsa, and lime. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Simmer covered for 20 minutes.

3. Ladle soup into individual bowls and top with a dollop of yogurt.

Serves 4-6.

Super easy, fast, and flavorful.
