Ingredients
- 6 cups black beans (cooked from dry or canned)
- 1-2 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup Tomatillo Salsa Verde
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 2 TBSP fresh chopped cilantro (plus extra to taste)
- 1-2 TBSP fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
TOPPINGS:
- crumbled or shredded cheese (skip if vegan)
- crushed tortilla chips
- chopped green onion
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Save money by skipping the canned beans! Whip them up from scratch by cooking dry beans in the slow cooker the day before. Simply rinse and sort beans, add them to your crock pot, fill with enough water to cover two inches above the beans, and cook on high for about 3.5 hours -- it costs less, spares you the sodium and BPA, and tastes great! I like to soak mine overnight before cooking them - feel free to follow suit!
- To make the soup, add everything but the toppings to your slow cooker and cover. Cook on high heat for 4 hours and steal a spoonful. To taste, add any extra salt, spices, or cilantro that floats your boat. If you prefer a brothier soup, add a little extra veggie broth and spices at any point in the cooking process. Once your ready to dig in, top with crushed tortilla chips, a sprinkle of cilantro, and some freshly grated or crumbled cheese. You can even add a fresh dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Yum!
- Store extra soup in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer! It tastes great the first day and even better the next!
Notes
- Feel free to add 1 cup of diced bell pepper if you have it! You may also want to keep a cup or two of extra broth on hand if you'd prefer a brothier soup - I like mine a bit hearty and oh-so-chunky!
