Recipe Smackdown

So I basically just want to write out a bunch of recipes that I have been enjoying in the last couple of weeks. They are random and somewhat strange but at least I will have a record of the things I like.

More Veggies and Less Black Beans Soup

Serves 2
Ingredients
3 cups of Chicken Broth or Stock
1/2 cup of Black Beans
1 Large Carrot (chopped)
3 Stalks of Celery (chopped
1 cup of purple or green cabbage (chopped)
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tsp. fresh or dried rosemary (minced)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. chipotle adobo sauce (leftover sauce from chipotles in adobo sauce)
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 dashes of Tabasco sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste (I prefer no pepper)

Directions: Saute' carrots, celery, onions, cabbage, and garlic together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Add rosemary, cumin, sage, and thyme. Turn the temperature up to high and add chicken broth. Let simmer for 3 minutes. Add cooked black beans, chipotle adobo sauce, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, and salt (pepper optional). Once heated, plate it (or bowl it :P), and enjoy!
