Healthy, cheap, comforting, and easy, I decided to make a black bean stoup, (stew like soup.) I had fallen into a food rut and needed to remind myself that healthy meals are attainable. It tastes better than it looks. Black Bean & Noodle Stoup
1 T olive oil
1 onion, chopped or diced to your liking
baby carrots- a handful chopped or diced
2-3 garlic gloves- chopped, more or less to taste
1 Quart of vegetable broth
Two handfuls of "No Yolk" egg dumpling noodles (about 3 cups)
1 Can of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 plum tomatoes, chopped or diced
1/2 C frozen corn
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1-2 t cumin (to taste)
1 t pepper (to taste)
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped
Archer Farms Black Bean and Jalapeno tortilla corn chips from Target
In your soup pot, add the oil and chopped onions and dance them, (cook), over a medium heat until the onions sweat it out. Add the chopped carrots and garlic to the pot party.
Add the veggie broth and make those veggies swim. Stir in the noodles and as the noodles begin to soften, add the beans, tomatoes, corn and jalapeno. Spice it up with the cumin, pepper and cilantro and allow the stoup to thicken.
Circle your stoup with tortilla shark fins! Its so yummy and offers a great variety of textures and flavors.

Man, does that sound good!! I'm printing this one! Thanks.
Sounds yummy. Love the descriptive directions...swim, dance etc.
Looks good I will try it as soon as I settle in my new home!!
Personally, I don't think I'd add the noodles, but otherwise sounds yummy! I like sausage in there, too. :)
You could have a very interesting cookbook if printed your recipes out
This sounds yummy! I'll have to try it. You know how I love homemade soup.
You sound like an exercise video! lol (My DH is watching Biggest Loser exercise video right now, and the fellow on there is saying the exact same thing...except not about onions.....) ; )
