Crock Pot Black Bean Soup
Description
This soup begins with rinsed dry black beans placed in a crock pot along with minced garlic, diced onion, celery, peeled carrots, and salsa. Chili powder and cumin season the mixture, supported by vegetable or chicken broth and water. As the soup cooks on high for 6 to 8 hours, the beans soften thoroughly.
About an hour before serving, canned diced tomatoes are stirred in and some beans are mashed gently in the pot to thicken the soup's texture. The result is a hearty, creamy base with tender bean and vegetable pieces providing body.
This black bean soup can be served as a standalone meal or paired with toppings such as sour cream, cilantro, or diced avocado to complement its flavors. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to five days, making it practical for batch cooking.
