Easy Black Bean Soup
RECIPE BY: tessamami
This soup is a favorite pantry meal for my family. Easy, easy, easy to make and nutritious. I got the recipe from the back of a soup can but have improvised this soup many times. Feel free to adjust seasonings as you like.

What can I add to the already 5-star ratings? Everyone raved about this soup, served a day after I made it. Only thing I changed was to put some roma tomatoes (cut in chunks) into the pot during the last simmering, and I cooked my own black beans. Wonderful soup!

quick, easy soup without all the ingredients so many other black bean soups call for. i didn't have any cumin, so used chili powder instead, which worked great.

I used chicken broth in this soup and increased the amount of cumin. Topped with red onion and cilantro, this is a perfectly simple soup with tons of flavor. It is a great bonus that the prep was so simple.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make! I will use a can of tomatoes next time also. I added an extra clove of garlic and I may decrease the amount of cumin just a bit, but this is just my personal taste. Delicious with tortilla chips! I cannot get over how quick it was to make it! Thanks Tessamami!
