Our Favorite Black Bean Soup

Recipe #302915 | 55 min | 25 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Enjolinfam

Another family favorite recipe that has been scratched on a piece of paper without knowing where it came from. It's a delicious soup and though we've tried many black bean soups on Zaar and elsewhere and really liked them, this one is our favorite.
