Black Bean Soup

Wonderful! Thick and just a little spice. Love it!

I have doubled the recipe and only puree 2 cans of the beans. Everyone who I have served it to says it is the best they ever had! Also add a few drops of hot sauce to spice it up

I loved the taste of the salsa in it, I used medium salsa and it gave the soup some kick.

I made a big pot of black beans in my slow cooker that I've been trying to use up all week. I used these for this recipe and it was superb! Even my hubby who doesnt care much for black beans had two bowls! It was easy, quick, low fat and delicious. I served the soup with fat free shreded cheddar cheese and fat free sour cream.

The soup tasted good. I just didn't like biting into a chunk of onion. Maybe I didnt cut them up small enough. I'll probably grate the onion next time, if there is a next time. And I dont know about the salsa. It adds flavor, which is good.... but I'd rather the soup be more smooth.

Delicious! I already made this recipe a few times. I did make some changes. I added some cilantro. I only used 3/4 cup of salsa. I also used 2 whole green chilies. I pureed everything with the exception of the last can of beans. It was a total hit! I will continue to make this recipe.

I have been making this recipe for years. It is incredible! I have made it for guests and everyone asks for the recipe. If you don't want to much spice, reduce or eliminate the crushed red pepper and use a mild salsa.

Just made this the other night for dinner and it was a hit. I also made some changes to the recipe based on my families preferences. I used also a cup of chopped red onion, left out the crushed red pepper but added a chopped jalapeno and small can of diced green chillies. Next time I will use a little less salsa because I felt it overpowered the other flavors. Per the previous reviewer I started out with less broth, but as the soup simmered I did add the remainder of the can because the consistency was almost too thick. I rounded out the meal with Club Quesodillas (from this website) and a crisp green salad. Everyone agreed this was a great summertime meal, including my two picky teens.

I loved this recipe, but I changed it up a little. In the food processor I added some already chopped up Pico de gallo instead of salsa. I left out the cumin and added also some green chilles. It was spicy and delicious. Next time I am going to use less broth, it was a little to watery for me. I bet it would make a great dip too!!

This is a delicious, rich, thick soup that sticks to your ribs. A perfect amount of spice which can be asjusted with the red pepper. I make this often in the winter.
