tomato and black bean soup

This tomato and black bean soup is ridiculously easy to make. I first shared it on Instagram on my instastories. That morning I was wanting something warm for lunch so rustled up the soup whilst prepping breakfast and getting ready for work. I'm not suggesting you have to leave it until the last minute as I did, but I am telling you it is quick to do.

​The reason this tasty tomato soup takes hardly any effort to throw together is it uses frozen and canned vegetables and herbs. Perfect when you're short on time and stuck for lunch inspiration. 

Ingredients:
​
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin black beans
1 clove garlic, chopped (about 1 tsp)
1 small onion, roughly chopped (or 2 tbsp frozen chopped onion or shallot)
1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses
1 tbsp chopped basil
1 tbsp pumpkin seed oil (optional)
​1/2 can water or stock
