2 cans (19 oz each) Progresso™ Vegetable Classics hearty black bean soup
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup whipping cream
4 cups cooked Spanish or regular long grain rice, if desired

Directions

1

In blender, place bean soup and chicken broth; cover and blend until smooth. (If necessary, blend in batches.)

Expert Tips

tip 1
To add a little extra spiciness, add a canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce before blending the soup mixture. For chunkier soup, add a 15-ounce can of Progresso® black beans, drained, before you heat the soup.
tip 2
To substitute for the Progresso® black bean soup, decrease the amount of whipping cream to 3/4 cup and use 2 cans (15 oz each) Progresso® black beans, undrained.
tip 3
If a thinner soup is desired, substitute part of the whipping cream with chicken broth.
