My new favourite soup!! Ordinarily I am not a soup person, but one spoonful of this black bean soup and I was converted. I did modify a couple of things…I used an immersion blender instead of taking some soup out for a blender (less clean up). My avocados were not ripe, so I topped with some tomato chunks…delicious. I down sized it a little 3 cans of beans and 3 cups of broth, but I upped the celery and carrots.

I’ve made this soup four times in the past two months. Black bean soup has been a staple in our home for many years. I have never made it with the same recipe so many times. The list of ingredients isn’t endless, and the prep is easy. I found it to be a bit cumin forward, I reduced the amount to a level tablespoon. The only other thing that I changed was to add the spices to the heated oil before the chopped vegetables. Thanks for a great recipe!,

I have been using this recipe for black bean soup a very long time and it is a real crowd pleaser no matter who is coming over. I have used both veg stock as well as chicken stock and both work great. I definitely prefer the lime juice over the sherry vinegar. I think the lime tastes better (personal preference).
Overall I follow the recipe and it always tastes yummy!!

I finished a bowl of your back bean soup, it’s was so yummy I’m inviting friends over for lunch tomorrow.

The only thing I changed was substituting a can of refried black beans for one can of black beans that I was short of. The refried beans are salty, so I used unsalted broth. I used an old fashioned potato smasher to blend things together and that worked great, too. Thank you so much!

In reply to Patty. Hi Patty, yes, I would still add the onion and garlic to the soup.

In reply to Cookie and Kate. If I use your dried bean recipe, would I still add the extra onion and garlic in the soup recipe?

In reply to Jessica David. Hi Jessica, the nutrition information is approximate and for a serving. You can reduce the sodium by using low-sodium broth and rinsing canned beans well.

Is the nutrition information for EACH serving or for the total recipe of 6-8 servings? The sodium content seems very high at 1563.1.
