“This soup was delicious! Easy to make and I’m glad I did. Thick and hearty. I followed exactly except the total amount of Thyme. I find Thyme a little over powering so I just make an adjustment. In this recipe I cut the amount in half. Perfect for me. I am very sure I will make this often.” \u2014Connie Herm<\/p>\n

“This was one of the easiest and tastiest slow cooker recipes I have come across so far! I had chicken in the freezer, had bought fresh cilantro for another recipe and barely used any of it, had a lime on hand and had just whipped up some Taco Seasoning II (from this website). Plus I always have spare jars of salsa on hand. I used it as taco\/burrito filling. Whole wheat tortillas with some shredded cheese and taco seasoned rice…delicious!” \u2014Cheryl Marie<\/p>\n

This black bean soup is so easy to make with just a few pantry staples. It can be served straight from the slow cooker, or you can blend it with an immersion blender for a creamier consistency. If you don’t want it to be too spicy, you can cool it down simply by adjusting the spice measurements.<\/p>\n
