A hearty bean/vegetable soup--even if you're not a vegetarian. You could save time and use canned beans instead of dried.

FABULOUS VEGAN NUTRITIOUS DELICIOUS! I made a half recipe as stated but did a quick soak for the black beans by bringing them to a boil turning off the heat and soaking for 3 hours. This recipe was perfect and satisfying all it needed was a bit more salt at the end. Half a recipe was 3 large servings for us. Made for the Zaar Stars tag game.

    I had this wonderful soup for dinner tonight. I used a combination of pinto and small red beans instead of black beans. I also used a 28 oz can of tomatoes and reduced the water by 2 cups to make up for the extra tomatoes. I added the diced red pepper 15 minutes before serving. Thanks for posting this recipe.

    Fabulous flavorful soup! I made this just as described except we topped it with a spoonful of sour cream.
