Black Bean Soup

This Vegetarian Black Bean soup made with canned black beans, peppers, onions and organic vegetable broth is hearty and satisfying. 

This Vegetarian Black Bean Soup is super flavorful, satisfying and healthy. It's perfect for lunch or dinner. In fact, I was afraid the family wouldn't like it so I only made a small batch.

I was pleasantly surprised when after initially tasting some, they were disappointed that there wasn't any more left.

If you like your soup a little on the "hotter" side, you can adjust how much chili powder you use. I prefer my food on the  mild side; however,  my eldest daughter would have liked it with a bit more heat.

The way I look at it is you can always add more, but it's difficult to fix if there is too much. Bean soups in general are healthy for you and this version is no exception; which is high in fiber, iron and vitamins C and B6.

Beans also tend to fill you up more and keep you satisfied longer. I'll definitely be making this soup again, that is once my family gets past Soup Week. Even they get tired of eating soup every night for dinner.

I guess I better get back in the kitchen to whip up some regular meals. Until then~Enjoy!
