Classy American Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe-

Ingredients:

(Makes 4 servings)

• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1-1/2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup chunky hot salsa
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds left in, rough chopped (optional, for extra spicy hot lovers)
• 3 scallions (green onions), white and green parts separated, both rough chopped

For Garnish:

• 4 to 6 tbsp. sour cream
• Rough chopped green stalks of scallions

Directions:

1. Combine two-thirds of the beans, the cumin, salsa, broth, and rough chopped jalapeno pepper and scallion whites in a food processor or blender. Blend until not quite pureed, still a little chunky.
2. Using a medium to large sized saucepan over medium high heat, pour the blended bean mixture in and cook until well heated throughout. Add in the remaining whole beans, stir well, and cook another few minutes until the whole beans are also heated well through.
3. Ladle equal portions of the soup into 4 separate bowls, and garnish each with a generous dollop of sour cream in the center and a sprinkling of rough chopped scallion greens.
