Black Bean and Corn Soup

Recently I’ve been working 7 days a week at the restaurant and have had no free time to cook at home, thus the lack of posts on my blog. I’ve mainly been making quick meals at the restaurant, that is low in fat and high in protein and fiber. Today I decided to make something real quick at home before heading back to work. This is when your canned beans become your best friend. They are high in fiber and protein and low in fat. They cook in under 5 minutes and can make a very filling meal. I tossed some frozen corn into a pot and one can of chicken stock. I seasoned with some dried herbs and brought it to a boil before serving.

Ingredients:
1 can of black beans
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 can of chicken stock
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 handful of tortilla chips
1 teaspoon sour cream (optional) or nonfat plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon salsa
2 tablespoon grated cheddar or monterey

Method:
1. Toss everything into the pot and bring to boil (Do not add the tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa, or cheddar: those are to be used as garnish)

2. Once everything is at a boil, taste and season with salt and black pepper if you need it.

3. Plate everything by placing the chips in the center of the boil.

4. Top it with cheese, then salsa and then a small dollop of sour cream.

Mix everything together and ENJOY!!!!!
