Black Bean Crock-pot Soup
Dry black beans are simmered without presoaking in the crock pot, along with vegetables, vegetable broth, green chilies, and seasonings of garlic, cumin and thyme.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Yellow Onion
1 Green Bell Pepper
7 cloves Garlic
1 lb Dry Black Beans
6 cups Water
2 cup Vegetable Broth
1× 7-oz can Diced Green Chilies
1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Thyme
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
2 Bay Leaves
For Garnish:
⅓ cup (non-dairy, soy) sour cream
½ Red Bell Pepper, diced
½ White Onion, diced
3 Tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Directions:
Add olive oil to the crock pot and turn on highest setting. Chop yellow onion and stir into the olive oil. Cover and let cook while you chop the green bell pepper into 1-inch chunks. Stir in green bell pepper. Using a garlic press, crush garlic cloves directly into the crock pot. Stir and cover.
Rinse black beans in a colander. Add to crock pot along with water, broth, chilies, cumin, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Cover and cook on high at least 8 hours.
Before serving, partially puree soup with a hand mixer or submersible hand-held blender. Mix until thick, but still with chunks of beans, onions and peppers visible. Ladle into 6 soup bowls. Top each bowl of soup with a dollop of sour cream, some diced red bell pepper, diced white onion, and a sprinkling of cilantro.
Helpful Tips:
On a chilly, autumn day, nothing warms the house like the smell of the crock pot simmering all day long! This recipe is particularly easy, because you can use dry beans without soaking them (and it has the added bonus of no added salt from canned beans.) Using vegetable broth and no added meat, makes this black bean soup a no-cholesterol, low-fat comfort food.

Also, I didn't scroll through all 19 pages of this forum to see if this is already here so I'm hoping it's not a duplicate.0 -
