Delicious and easy recipe -ham and Black bean soup

I was actually hungry, so for lunch I decided I wanted to cook.  So I made an exceptionally simple and tasty ham and black bean soup.  I didn't get fat being a lousy cook!  Now I have to figure out how to use my skills to make healthier wls friendly meals.  This was my first attempt.

It is good for liquefied puree to solids.  I obviously pureed mine (in my Magic Bullet) and strained it to remove any lumps.  It was very yummy!  I think it would be good with chicken instead of ham and even a blob of Greek yogurt.


here it is:

Ham and Black Bean Soup - Liquefied purees and beyond

2 Slices leftover ham

1 can Black beans (undrained)

1 can low sodium low fat beef broth

1 container Gerber Step 2 Green Peas

1 packet Goya Sazon with Coriander and Annatto

Garlic powder about 2 tsp

Cumin about 1 tsp

Add all ingredients to small saucepan, add garlic and cumin to taste.  Bring to a boil.

For anyone on the liquefied puree stage, blend until thin and strain.  Puree stage -just puree!  (I saved the pieces left in the strainer and froze them with some additional pureed soup for when I am ouyt of the liquefied stage-waste not want not!)

This is also a great way to sneak peas into kids and finicky adults!

sounds like a great recipe that the whole family could enjoy!  Thanks for sharing :)
