Black Bean and Salsa Soup

I got this from Allrecipes.com; it's super-easy and really, really tasty. It's gotten a number of compliments. You can also adjust the ratio of broth-to-beans and turn it into bean dip. Also, I adjusted the recipe to what I had on hand by skipping the green onion and snipping some fresh cilantro into it before blending. Unbelievable.

INGREDIENTS
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup chunky salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

DIRECTIONS
In an electric food processor or blender, combine beans, broth, salsa, and cumin. Blend until fairly smooth.
Heat the bean mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until thoroughly heated.
Ladle soup into 4 individual bowls, and top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream and 1/2 tablespoon green onion.
