"This chunky soup is chock-full of hearty ingredients like potatoes and black beans," notes Heather Baldry of Knoxville, Tennessee. "The tasty vegetable broth is a nice change from chicken or beef."

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable broth, divided
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced peeled potato
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced
