    Have you tried this in a crock pot? Do you think it would work.

    Haven't tried it in a crockpot yet, but I will and I'm positive it will work. Going to also try it with dried black beans to cut down on the sodium.

    Hope everyone who tries it likes it! Let me know if you come up with any good additions! :happy:

    Cue the theme song from the Twilight Zone. Earlier today I was looking at organic canned black bean soup on Amazon and thought, "Surely I can make this on my own for a fraction of the cost?" Made a mental note to scour the Internet for a healthy recipe but promptly forgot after I got home.

    Then bam! I see this thread. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing that recipe. :)

    Do you have to squeeze out the water from the spinach?

    Pegad -

    Since I use frozen spinach (I transfer it to zipper freezer bags after purchase and just use however much I want when I need it) there really is no liquid to squeeze. When I made it last night, it was a little freezer burned and I had ice crystals in the bag - I just dumped it all in the pot, ice and all. A more discerning chef might have had a fit with that, but what-ev! It worked for me.

    If you're using canned spinach you might want to drain it, but I wouldn't worry too much about squeezing it out, it's soup after all. It's easy. It forgives.
