Hearty Black Bean Soup

I got this recipe from FamilyFun.com. It's SOOO good in my opinion. Great with cornbread or chips too.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
	1 cup tomato salsa
	2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
	2 cups chicken broth
	1 teaspoon lime juice
	2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
	Sour cream (optional)

1. Heat the salsa in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for 15 minutes.

2. Let the soup cool slightly, then ladle half of it into a food processor or blender and puree it. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro and heat the mixture through. Serve the soup warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
