Spicy Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup

Mama_cc

Made this last week and love it! I know it's hot out (I'm in Texas) but this was easy and so good.

1 lb black beans soaked overnight (I quick soak mine)
4 tsp diced jalapeno peppers
6 cups chicken broth (I used not chick'n bouillon cubes)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 TBS chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

1. drain soaked black beans and rinse.
2. combine all ingredients.
3. cook on high for 4 hours. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 2 hrs.

Add garnishes: 1/4 cup brown rice, fat free sour cream, avocado etc...very filling and healthy too!

You soak them in water overnight. There are instructions on the bag usually.

Bump for later, sounds great!

I make something really similar and serve it with a dollop of nonfat greek yogurt.

Black beans in the slow-cooker are fantastic. Great post!

EDITED TO ADD: You don't have to soak the beans overnight. It serves no purpose. Not even kidding. Some people think it releases a gas (it doesn't) or softens them but it's unnecessary if using the slow cooker for 5-7 hours.

I'm absolutely going to save this!

just soak the beans in water either over night or the quick soak method. For quick method, I put beans in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. I then turn off the burner, put a lid on the pot and leave to soak for 1 hr. So easy, just takes some time either the night before (put beans in water overnight to just sit) or soak in hot water for 1 hr.

Good spicy flavor!! I just love soups-especially ones that cook in a crock pot! Fresh cilantro and diced fresh tomato also are wonderful toppers.

Yeah, if you're using a slow cooker you TOTALLY don't need to soak them. I never do. And they're perfect in about 5 hours.

I made it again this week. It thickens in the fridge after cooling and I like the broth part. I sometimes add a couple tsp of water to thin it before I heat- still tastes great! Sodium depends on the type of broth. I used a veggie/chicken flavored cube from whole foods.
