(Panera Bread) Black Bean Soup

Step 1

In a pot, combine the first six ingredients; simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add half a can of beans, salt and cumin; cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Puree soup (I use an immersion blender which makes it easy to do it right in the pot).

Step 4

Add the rest of the beans to the soup.

Step 5

Combine the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of water.

Step 6

Add the lemon and the cornstarch to the soup; cook until thickened.
