Because most of the calories in wine comes from the alcohol, which evaporates during cooking, I decreased the SmartPoints by 1 per serving. If you prefer to skip the wine and use more broth instead you can deduct 1 SmartPoint from each serving.

Recipe Notes

Hot and spicy pico de gallo can be substituted for the milder version if you love the heat.

Avocado, cilantro, additional lime juice can either be added right to the soup or to the pico de gallo garnish on top for a more assertive taste.

Vegans can substitute vegetable broth (affiliate link) for the chicken and white can replace red wine. If you prefer you can skip the wine and use more broth instead.

What Do You Eat with Black Bean Soup?

Chips, bread rounds and a crisp salad go well with this filling soup. I do love avocados and often chop them to add to the pico or serve on the side. If you use them, make sure they are fairly ripe; crunchy ones just lack in flavor and mouth feel.

What to Do with Leftover Soup?

A leftover cup of soup can be reheated in the next few days for a quick pick me up. Bean soups freeze well, so I generally make extra and freeze some in plastic containers.

Instant Pot Black Bean Soup

The recipe is for one to two people so you'll only need 1 can of beans and a minimal amount of other ingredients. This means that the pot will heat up to pressure fairly quickly. I took those few minutes to toss together a salad and cut up ½ of a ripe avocado. By the time the soup was ready, so were we.

Season "lightly" with salt depending on how much salt is in the can of beans. I used sodium reduced so I stepped up the salt to taste.
