Guatemalan Black Bean Soup

Black bean soup is one of Guatemala’s national dishes. It’s served in two different ways: with whole beans giving it texture, or very smooth and creamy. This is a smooth and creamy version.

Serve with toppings of chopped tomato, cilantro, and onion. Grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream (non-dairy, of course!) are also traditional toppings.

If you don’t want to cook the beans from scratch, use three 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed.
