Note

Tips for Making Black Bean Soup:

  • Customize the spice level. If you’re like my grandmother and think things like mild salsa are spicy, I would omit the minced jalapeños and crushed red chili pepper flakes.
  • Black Bean Soup can be paired with many toppings. You can top yours with sour cream (especially if the soup is super spicy), shredded cheddar cheese, corn or tortilla chips, diced avocados, green tabasco, and/or fresh salsa. You can even serve it over rice and top with cilantro.
  • You can prep this soup ahead of time and also freeze it for a later dinner or lunch date.
  • I prefer my Black Bean Soup to be thick and creamy, while others might prefer it more on the brothy side. The final consistency of this soup is up to you. To make it thicker, blend at least 2-3 cans of beans from the soup. Blend just one can of beans and add some more broth to make it not as thick.
