Popcorn Soup has a fun ring to it, but the traditional ingredients may not be so fun! Instead, try this savory Black Truffle Popcorn Soup, Vegan-style.
Most popcorn soups are made with loads of butter and heavy cream, but this vegan version uses organic corn and white beans to get that rich, creamy texture.

Benefits:
Cannellini beans are in both protein and fiber. They aid in elimination, help balance blood sugar, may help lower cholesterol, and are a source of iron, which may boost energy levels. Onions are an excellent source of quercetin, a phytonutrient noted for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties.
Black Truffle Popcorn Soup
Ingredients:
1 tbs. coconut oil ½ cup yellow onion, diced 1 cup frozen organic corn kernels ¼ cup organic popcorn (unsalted or lightly salted) + extra for garnish 1 cup cannellini beans 4 cups vegetable stock ½ teaspoon black truffle salt (can use regular or omit)Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large stockpot, using medium low flame.
- Add the onion to the pot, sweating them, being careful not to brown them. This should take 3-5 minutes.
- Add corn, popcorn, and stock. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
- Carefully transfer to a blender, add beans and salt, and blend until smooth. If you used a salted popcorn, you may not need salt at all. The black truffle salt is more for the truffle taste, not the salt taste.
