Quick and Dirty Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

1 can Progresso Vegetarian Vegetable Soup with Barley
1/3 C black beans  (canned)
1 jalapeno
2 Tbsp red onion, chopped
1 Tsp chopped garlic
1 lime
(Optional: hot sauce, shredded cheese, sour cream/plain yogurt, avocado or guac, tortilla chips)

Instructions

Roast the jalapeno under the broiler or over a gas flame. Put in a bowl and cover with saran wrap to allow the steam to loosen the skin. Saute the onion and garlic until softened and translucent (~ 6-8 minutes) in a bit olive oil. Skin and de-seed the jalapeno and finely chop. Add the soup, beans, onion, garlic, and jalapeno to a sauce pan. Bring to a hearty simmer and lower the heat, and let it gently bubble for at least 30 minutes. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the bowl right before serving. Sprinkle with cheese, tinker with hot sauce, and serve with a side of tortilla chips, avocado, etc. as you wish.
