Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat until hot. Add bacon; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in black beans, rotels, broth, vinegar, cumin and hot pepper sauce. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 25 minutes.
Remove from heat; let cool 15 minutes. Process soup in 3 batches in blender or food processor, pulsing just until slightly pureed but still chunky. (Soup can be made to this point up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate). Return to Dutch oven; heat over medium heat until mixture simmers. Serve soup topped with sour cream and green onions.
