This comforting soup combines parsnip and pumpkin in a healthy and beautiful bowl of fall goodness.

Did you miss me? I’m finally back from the longest posting hiatus of my three-and-a-half-year blogging career. I really missed sharing recipes, but have been spending a ton of time behind the scenes getting ready for the transition to WordPress. Between that, my full-time day job, trying to unpack from our move, and my efforts to get a little shut-eye, there just hasn’t been any time left. I’ll be around more now that some of the chaos has died down, though (and if you’re ever looking for me when it’s quiet over here, I’m probably still posting all of my breakfasts on Instagram).

So, what do you think of the new site? I still have a lot of work to do fixing little formatting issues in older posts and adding back in some of my sidebar content, but I’m really happy with the change so far. If you happen to notice broken links, have any other issues, or just want to give me some feedback, feel free to send me an email. One thing I’m really excited about is the recipe formatting plugin I’m using in this post, which allows you to get a printer-friendly version of the recipe with a single click. As soon as I find time I’ll be updating older posts so that they’re easy to print, too.

In other news, my cookbook comes out in just over two weeks on November 3rd! It’s been upgraded to release day delivery on Amazon, so if you pre-order, you can get it right on release day without any extra delay for shipping!

Spicy Cocoa Chili

If you are going to eat paleo, you are going to need a lot of protein in your fridge.  Otherwise, you will be constantly cranky.

Black Bean & Corn Bisque

May 8, 2013 By Becky 2 Comments

This is a delicious pantry soup, meaning you can make it with ingredients that might already be in your pantry.  It’s healthy and filling, and topped with lots of good stuff.  Also, it comes together in less than half an hour and packs a little mini punch.  Yum!

P.S.  I am calling this a bisque, because it sounds so much fancier than soup.  However, according to Wikipedia, bisques have to be made with seafood stock.  Oh well!  No seafood here, but still delicious.

Ingredients (serves 3-4):

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic paste
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 15 ounce cans of black beans
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 packet Sazón Adobo seasoning
A few pinches cayenne pepper, to taste
1 cup water
Splash of silver tequila (optional)
3 tablespoons cream or coconut milk
Chopped fresh cilantro and scallions, for serving

Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add the onion and corn, and raise the heat to medium high.  Stir in the garlic paste and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about ten minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add the beans along with their liquid.  Add the oregano, cumin, Adobo seasoning, cayenne, and water.  Stir to combine.  Simmer for ten minutes.  Towards the end of the cooking time, stir in the tequila and let it bubble away for another minute or so.

Remove soup from the heat.  Using a slotted spoon, remove about half of the beans and puree them in a food processor until smooth.  Return the puree to the saucepan, add the cream, and stir to combine.

Serve the soup with a generous scoop of corn and onions, and a sprinkling of scallions and cilantro.
