I'm not really sure what makes a chowder a chowder, but this is thicker than soup and not as thick as stew.... so I'm calling it a chowder. Throw it all together and 8 hours later, it's done!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 medium onion, diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, do not rinse, drain
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free refried beans (the hot ones if you like spicy)
1 cup fat free chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian's)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
6 tablespoons nonfat sour cream (optional)

Directions

1
Combine everything EXCEPT cilantro and sour cream in crock-pot.
2
Cook on low for 8-9 hours. I like to turn crock-pot to high the last 20-30 minutes to allow soup to thicken.
3
If using, top with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro.

Really good and really easy!! I made just as posted except I added 3 cloves chopped garlic. I served it with sour cream, cilantro, guacomole, and multigrain tortillia chips. A total keeper and I will make again and again. Thanks for posting

This is really tasty and incredibly easy to make. I fried some corn tortillas to make chips and used them to scoop up this thick "chowder." Yum. I did not use any of the optional ingredients but my BF wished we did have some sour cream. This is a dish I would be happy to make again. Thanks for posting.

This was a tasty, filing, easy to prepare soup. I used home cooked black beans, and home made chicken broth, I added 1/4 tsp. salt because my broth and beans weren't salty, and I cut the cayenne down to 1/4 tsp. so my four year old could eat it. Cooked it in the crock pot for four hours on high, and ate it the next day with sour cream. I think the flavors were better, and the soup was thicker, the second day. This will definitely go into the rotation; it is a great recipe as is, and also has a lot of potential for adaptation! Thanks, Brooke!

This was so good and yet takes very little effort. I made no changes to the recipe except to add some chopped garlic. I love that it's so tasty plus pretty lowfat. Thanx for sharing. I'll make this again!
