To make this Creamy Black Bean Soup…well, creamy, I use tomato bisque. To make it less creamy, use cans of tomato soup instead. You can also garnish with a dollop of light cream cheese avocado and tortilla chips. I use whole grain or chia seed tortilla chips. For this Creamy Black Bean Soup, my favorite tortilla chips are the Beanito Hint of Lime Bean Tortilla Chips.
