This was a really good, EASY soup to make. The flavor intensifies if made ealier in the day or even the day before. It's yummy with cornbread! In addition to having made this several times at home, I've served this at a party as a back up option for people with dairy issues. It was very well received and the recipe was asked for more than once. If you like black beans and like soup, give this one a try!

This recipe was VERY easy, and had a wonderful flavor. I spiced it up a little with the addition of 1/2 of a chopped jalapeno. Very good! Will make again!

I added 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and 2 T. lime juice to it. My hubby and mom loved it. Of course so did I. We will have it often. Very good fiber source.

Loved it! I don't know if it was the cumin or the salsa, but it turned out really spicy. Yummy!

It was a little to sweet for my husband, but I think it tasted great. You may want to serve with tortillas.

I did a few things different and I think it made the prep easier with the same result. After I sauteed the veggies I just added the stock, salsa and drained and rinsed beans. I let them cook a few minutes and instead of blending different cans of beans I just used a potato ricer and mashed throughout the soup. It still thickened up really nicely and we really liked the chunky texture. This is definetly a new family fav. I will make this one again and again. It was so fast and simple.
