Recipe: Black Bean Salsa Soup

This simple soup comes together in no time. Enjoy it with a whole-wheat roll and you’ve got a light, simple meal loaded with both veggies and flavour. Or top each bowl with some chopped avocado or homemade baked tortilla chips. If you’re using store-bought salsa, look for a brand with 130 mg or less of sodium per 2-tablespoon serving.
