Hey friends, Sarah from Live Eat Learn here coming at you with an easy vegetarian dinner you can make for Halloween this year…Black Bean Boo-dle Soup! Even though I’m a health food blogger and love a good veggie or two, I have a serious sweet tooth. If left to my own accord, I would spend all Halloween just eating massive amounts of Halloween treats.
But I realize this isn’t a very sustainable way of getting through the month of October, so today we’re whipping up a healthier way to celebrate Halloween. This Black Bean Boo-dle Soup is low in fat and ultra-filling (meaning you have energy to trick-or-treat all night and are less inclined to “accidentally” binge on all of your kids’ Halloween candy) (relevant).
As with all good soups, we’ll start with an onion and garlic base (you know, to ward off the vampires), with some Halloween-shaped veggies thrown in. If you have small Halloween cookie cutters, they’re perfect for this. No cookie cutters? No problem! You can make quick carrot “pumpkins” by peeling your carrot then making two shallow slits down the length of your carrot. The depth of these slits will make the height of your stem, and the distance between them will make the width of it. Then make two more cuts, starting from the opposite edges of the carrot, perpendicular into the cuts you just made. You’ll remove a long, pie-looking slice and will be left with a long pumpkin. Just cut into slices for soup-ready “pumpkins”!
But back to the soup, you’ll blend up about half of your black beans and broth to add extra creaminess, then add that blend + your whole beans + apple cider vinegar the the mix. Let boil for a while until reduced (about 20 minutes), and serve! I like mine topped with avocado (cut into Halloween shapes, obviously) and a nice dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
