Black Bean Soup

I got some dried black beans in my farm share last month, so it’s time for black bean soup.

This is a flavorful rendition of a classic soup. You can make this recipe your own by adding more or less of any of the extras. I use a slow cooker, but it tastes just as good if you simmer it on the stove.

Beans are one of the most affordable sources of protein, so adding this recipe to your rotation will help your grocery budget. This black bean soup takes just a few minutes to prepare, so it’s perfect for a busy day.
