 Hey guys, today we're here with Michelle at Vitamix Type Cores and she's going to show us how to make black bean soup. Welcome back, Lonnie. Yeah, thanks. It's great to have you back again. It's so fun to be back. And it's such a soup day today, isn't it? Uh-huh, chili for snow. Oh yeah, I love it. This is a great recipe that we've been doing. We do it in a lot of our classes. And one of the reasons that I love it is because it just teaches people a lot of tips about making soup in the Vitamix. As you well know, Vitamix doesn't heat. It's friction heat. It doesn't cook. So I always like to tell people. So this particular black bean recipe is on our website. And we start with just, we have a can of chickpeas and a can of black beans. And I put half in here and then I reserve the rest later. We're going to add them in there. So we're going to start with half a can of black beans and chickpeas. And you know I'm always telling people to put their liquid in first. But I don't do it when I do the soup because if I did that then you'd be wearing the soup. Oh, okay. Clean sure. We don't want to do that. Yeah, exactly. I make the exception for beans too. Yeah. They're pretty soft. Well, it's like the liquid will go in and it'll be fine. But if I put the liquid in first and it splashes up everywhere. I've got a jalapeno. I take the seeds out. If you like a little bit more heat, feel free to leave them in. And then we've got, now the recipe calls for half a cup of sauteed onion. And I want to show people that you don't have to, you can make a swap to raw. But be keeping in mind that that flavor change that happens when you saute an onion isn't happening in the Vitamix. Right. So what you want to do is when you go with any of those things in the lagoon family, so garlic, we're going to do it within this onion, you want to cut that amount in half. If the recipe calls for it to be roasted or sauteed, you want to cut it in half because you can always add more in, but you can't back out that flavor. And you know from experience what it does to the flavor of the onion. It just explodes in. Yeah, onion soup. That's a great tip. So that's, anyway, so that's what we went to about a quarter cup of onion. Okay. And again, the recipe calls for three cloves of roasted garlic, but I didn't have time to roast these, so we're just going to go with you closing a raw. And we've got a little bit of lime juice here. Okay. And I have here is cumin, salt and pepper. I'm just going to go ahead and add that in. And then I'm going to add in some vegetable broth. And I love this recipe because this is just something you can do after work. Super quick. Yeah. And it's just as simple as opening a few cans and just getting everything ready to go. So we're going to go ahead and put it up here. And I'm going to start that soup setting. And then at the end, I'm going to show you how we can stream in some things to give some texture to the soup. Great. All right. So we're going to go ahead and, this one is a preset setting. So we're going to go ahead and put it on soup. But if I was doing this on a blender with all manual control, I would just take it to high. Oops. Here we go. For about 60. Okay. I like to let this go high. It'll be a little bit longer because when we stream in these additional ingredients, that's going to bring this texture to the soup. Got it. All right. Cool. Okay. So here we are. You know, obviously, you know. Ooh, the steam. Best part. That's the big wow moment. But you know, sometimes you don't just want a pure age soup. Sometimes you want just to have a little bit of bite to it. So I'm going to go ahead and turn it back on to three. And basically I'm going to do wet chop. Got it. So first I'm going to add in the reserved chickpeas and black beans. I've got a lot of black beans. I'm going to add in the reserved chickpeas and black beans. I've got some yellow and red pepper here. I'm all, like I said, I'm only out of three. Second there. So now I've got texture in the soup. Okay. You can garnish this however you want. I'm going to put a little bit of tortilla chips on it for you. Nice. Some people, cilantro is very polarizing. I love it. That would be good on here. It would be great on here too. Some tortilla chips. Some tortilla chips. Give you a little bit of crunch on there. Yeah, and some salt. And some pepper. And some pepper. And some pepper. Some tortilla chips. Put some tortilla chips. Give you a little bit of crunch on there. Yeah, and cilantro gives it a little color too. Yep. There you go, my darling. Okay. I got lunch for you. So much pressure. Thank you. It's been a long morning. This looks delicious. I don't know if we can see it. It looks really, really good. And just, like I said, just add a little bit of texture to it. You could even put like a cooked chicken in there if you wanted to add a protein. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Oh, this looks delicious. Nice. Really good. And I'm thinking this is a good soup to give to like a picky eater. Yes. And not say that there's beans in there like we were talking about when it was blending. Yeah. This is a delicious soup. And it's nice and thick because of those beans were in the base. Yes. So it's got, that's one thing that I think is great about it. It's a nice texture. I can taste the cumin is really nice and the garlic. I, we like a lot of salt in our house. I'm not sure why. I would maybe add a team bit more salt. Yep. Like we kind of talked about. That was only like a quarter teaspoon. Right. I just thought everything. Yeah. You'll find that with all the Vitamix recipes, the salt and pepper are very low and you should feel free to go in and add a little bit, add it to, so it fits your personal taste. I'm so glad you came out. Delicious. Thank you so much for, for making this. We will bring this recipe home and make it at home. Wonderful. And it's so good to see you again.
