Ingredients for 2 portions

400 g Cooked black beans, drained
250 g Tomato
100 g Onion
12 g Garlic
15 g Olive oil
200 g Prepared vegetable stock
60 g Sour cream, 20% fat

Method

Drain and rinse 400 g ready-cooked black beans. Chop 250 g tomato and 100 g onion; mince 12 g garlic. Blend the beans with 200 g prepared vegetable stock until mostly smooth, leaving a spoonful of beans whole if desired.
Heat 15 g olive oil in a saucepan. Soften the onion for 4 minutes, add the garlic for 1 minute, then add the tomato and cook 5 minutes. Pour in the bean purée, 3 g salt and 1 g pepper; simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add 25 g lemon juice at the end.
Toast 100 g wheat bread. Divide the hot soup between two bowls, add 30 g sour cream to each, and serve with the bread. Check that the beans and broth are fully hot before serving.

Adapted from Mely Martínez’s tomato-and-black-bean crema, using ready-cooked drained beans and a measured sour-cream and bread serving. The reference allows sour cream; this photo shows a creamy topping and bread but does not prove the exact recipe. Use vegetable stock, not chicken stock, and verify the stock and bread labels for lacto-vegetarian suitability. The time estimate assumes cooked beans and a blender.
