Healthy Black Bean Soup | Jamie Oliver

hello lovely people okay we're going to do an amazing soup that I learn inspiration of a trip I had to Costa Rica and we went this incredible area and I had this black bean soup with beautiful eggs poached in it at the last minute incredible with tortillas and a little salsa really healthy it's got three or five a day and it's packed full of the good stuff so very simply get some celery and just strip it into little lumps like this and then we're going to just roughly chop it into like centimeter dice in a pan we're going to use a Dutch oven like this put it on a medium heat we're going to add about two tablespoons of olive oil we're going to go in with a celery then we're going to go in with the garlic and then as you're adding these flavors the smell was amazing we're gonna get some thyme here you could use our Ghana if you wanted to then we're going to go in with the two little bay leaves okay these go in fragrance beautiful then we're going to go in with two finely chopped onions I'm using red onions but of course you could use white onions or even leeks if you wanted to I like the idea of a little kick a little spice to it so I'm gonna add just a little bit of chilli about half a chili goes in then peppers we love our peppers I just get my funds and pushing this little stalk and then I pull it up like that so remove the seeds roughly chop the peppers into kind of centimeter chunks a nice little pinch of seasoning goes in while that's frying I'm going to get on with a kind of kicker okay so let's have a little look at that we've got a bowl here and we want to make a kind of saucer okay so I've got a small bunch of coriander here I want to use the top half for my saucer and this bottom half the stalks they're nice and clean we're going to finely slice that okay you know the stalks are got loads of flavor don't throw them away so they go in beautiful and then the leaves are going to go in my funky little salsa I'm just going to roughly chop the leaves like that and then I'm going to take some chillies it could be like a jalapeno it could be a red chilli you know it really can be anything you like you know take a little bit of lime juice I'm using these different colored chilies just because I've gotten the chilies go in the coriander goes in then we're going to go in with the juice of one lime and all I want to do is add a little swig of olive oil okay and a pinch of salt and then just use a little spoon to mix that up it's very very simple guys so we've got 800 grams of tinned or tetra Paks beans black beans going in of course you can use any beans but black beans are actually the highest protein beans that you can get look at that look at the color Juicin or I'm gonna go in with about 400 mils of water right we'll bring this to the boil and let it Thunder along and boil hard for 10 minutes this dish I had cooked for me little area of Costa Rica called the Nicoya Peninsula these lovely ladies sort of in their 50s cooked it with me and they cooked it for their dad who was a hundred and sixty years old let's turn it down now gentle gentle gentle gentle let's take out the bay leaf so they easily come out it's done its job now fragrance so we can get rid of that and then I'm going to use a little hand blender and just blitz up to look I've just blitz like a quarter of it okay and what you get is this you've got chunks but also you got smoothness and kind of comfort there as well so a little bit of both so at this point we're gonna have a little taste or have a think quite good adjust your seasoning and then I want it to be on a gentle heat here so I'll turn that right down and then we're going to go in with our eggs and very simply crack and in it goes and you're going to poach that egg in that soup then we've got tortillas and we can toast these when putting on a griddle pan or you can just put it on a gas hob just to warm them through okay seconds so let's serve it up this wonderful hearty dish there's your egg just like that couple of ladles of your soup and then go in with the egg bomb on top boom you want to add that flourish with this salsa a little drizzle of olive oil right let's have a little look this egg cut in there oh yes and then just chop it up get your tortilla mmm so good so there you go guys for more healthy meals click the link up there oh yes there's loads loads and loads and loads at this recipe is in Jamie Magazine so please check it out and don't forget go to jamieoliver.com there's loads of wonderful meals of which there's an army of gorgeous healthy ones vegetarian ones you name it we got it until next time take care you

Jamie Oliver has to be one of the most well rounded chefs out there today- also would have liked to have known his 'seasoning'

Thanks again. I love black beans.

[u/jackruby83]

Have you made this?

[u/srone]

I made this tonight...I wish I knew what the 'seasoning' was.

It was good, yet lacking.
