Ingredients

> 2 (17 oz) boxes Nature's Promise® Organic Southwestern Style Black Bean Soup
> 1 (6 oz) bag spinach
> 1/3 cup self-rising flour
> 1/3 cup cornmeal
> 1 tsp baking powder
> 1/4 cup fat-free milk
> 1 tbsp olive oil
> 1 large egg
> 2 tbsp finely chopped chives, plus more to garnish
> 1/4 cup reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
> 1 avocado, halved and cubed

Steps

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven on medium, bring the soup to a simmer. Stir in the spinach until wilted.
2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and egg. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chives and cheese. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough into soup. Cover and cook 12–15 min., until dumplings are fluffy. Garnish with more chives, if desired. Serve immediately and top with avocado, if desired.

Tips

If you have leftovers, use a slotted spoon to remove dumplings from the soup and store separately. Add dumplings when reheating to serve.
