Best Black Bean Soup
I went through this last Spring.
It would be warmer weather the day I was planning our meals. So ready for lighter fare, I’d plan a summer salad. On the day I served it, the wind would howl and the flurries fly! Well, I’m right back at it again. As I planned my meals last week, the furnace was roaring.
Best Black Bean Soup
Today it was downright balmy, sunny and summery, in the mid 80’s, and I had a big pot of Best Black Bean Soup simmering away!
This soup is both nutritious and delicious. It goes together so quickly, and is a nice change from traditional chili. We really enjoy black beans and all the goodies packed in this soup. It’s a favorite from my darling Mom, so it’s comforting too, even when it’s 85 degrees out!
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and serve with a fresh tossed salad and a few tortilla chips. As always, serve with love and enjoy!

I am SO VERY READY for soup season!! I love to have it on Friday nights when the husband comes home from the road. To me, it’s the perfect way to say “Welcome Home”.
I have a feeling that I’ll like your soups as much as I like your salads so…. keep ’em coming if you have more.
Yum. I am really in the mood for something like this. I am saving this recipe. Have a great day.

I love beans, this sounds good! Just need for the humidity to go away, then it will feel like fall:@)
This recipe sounds so yummy. It is chilly in Ohio this week and I am craving comfort food.
Have a wonderful day! La
That’s a great recipe. I just saved it to my recipes. Do you rinse the black beans or dump the can with the sauce into the chili?
YUM!! I’m going to go put on a pot of beans to soak now (since I don’t have any canned beans)! By the way.. love your header. Your pictures are amazing.
This looks delish! It’s going to be 105 today, but it’s going to cool down a bit this weekend…so I’m going to make it then!
This sounds delicious! Perfect for the kind of gray day we are having today!;)
We make this a lot, we call it Taco Soup and I love to do it in the crock pot…and you are right, it is always so so good! 😀
This looks great, especially topped with cheese and sour cream! 🙂
Thanks for sharing! I love black beans, and I have all the ingredients on hand for this 🙂 I’ll definitely be trying it out!
Stopping by from Someday Crafts 🙂
How funny, my post today was on the same subject. I made navy bean soup the other day when it was 108 outside. This looks really yummy.
Wow…that is mouth watering, I have to run and eat something now!
This looks delicious. It’s a nice spin on the traditional black bean soup. I’ve got to give it a try.
I’d love to see it linked to Seasonal Sundays!

Hi, I’m over from Funky Junk’s. This soup looks fab and I can’t wait to try it! Great blog, too!
Just stopping by from this weeks Under the Table and Dreaming link party. The soup looks so delicious. Can’t wait to try it out. I love soup during the fall and winter. Thanks for the recipe.

That looks amazing! For some reason black beans aren’t in all the supermarkets around here and the one that does stock them only stocks an organic brand (with the organic price to match), btu I reckon it might be worth it to make this.
I saw you recipe on It’s so very CHeri. It liooks so good I might make it this week!! My husband is going to live it.
This looks delish. I might have to make it, for the weekend in case I am working. Thanks for sharing. I found this via Skip to My Lou.
