AMAZING Creamy Black Bean Soup/Puree



Recommended Posts

So I just posted this on another thread in response to a question, but wanted to repost here in recipes. I haven't even had my surgery yet, but this is one of my favorite recipes. It's quick, easy, tasty, filling, just so yummy! It's PERFECT for the pureed stages, and even later with more goodies mixed in. I have to give credit to Amy W at the Land of cheese and Sunkist blog for this one a year or so ago. You can also make a batch, freeze it in little containers.....that's what I'm going to do right before my surgery date. Enjoy!!

Creamy Black Bean Soup

1 onion, diced

2-3 cloves garlic

1 Tblsp oil (canola or olive)

3 cans black Beans, drained

1 can Rotel tomatoes (if don't like spicy, sub regular diced tomatoes)

3-4 cans chicken broth (depending on how thin you want it)

1 Tblsp chili powder

1-2 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste.

Saute onion and garlic in oil till soft. Add all other ingredients and simmer together for flavor to meld, at least 20 minutes. Puree Soup with immersion blender, or regular blender. Serve with sour cream and cheese, if tolerated, melted in. Later on add some corn chips, green onions, whatever on top! Yummy!!! My FAVORITE!

I love Beans more than words can express. I wanna make this. Do you have the nutritional info?

I plugged it in as a recipe on MyFitnessPal and this is what it comes up with:

Calories: 200. Carbs: 35. Fat: 2. Protein: 12. Fiber: 11. Sodium: 1364 (chick broth, Beans - get less sodium with plain black Beans and not flavored). Serving size is for 6 servings out of the whole pot, so if you have 12 servings from the whole pot, cut everything in half. I get about 10-12 cups from a whole recipe! Since I haven't had my surgery yet, one of my servings is about 2 cups.

Sounds delish.

After surgery, you can divide that 2 c serving you eat by 8!! LOL

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
