The most delicious and hearty black bean soup! Easy to make in less than 1 hour!

Easy Black Bean Soup

My kiddos were watching our all-time favorite show, Little House On The Prairie. The Ingalls had black bean soup for dinner in the episode they were watching, and with it being Cinco de Mayo, my daughter decided that was what we should also have for dinner! We changed our plans from picking one of our 25 Cinco de Mayo recipes!

She and I got busy looking for recipes and finally settled on one that we had the most ingredients for. We modified the original recipe and created our own, and boy was it delicious! It was hearty and super easy to make. I love soups and meals that can be put together quickly!

Tips

This recipe requires chopping of some vegetables, which is made easier and quicker if you have a food processor. Then the rest is literally opening cans and dumping and pouring!

Once the soup was cooked, I wanted it to be more creamy, rather than “brothy” and chunky with beans and corn. I took my stick blender and gave the soup a few pulses to make the perfect blend of creamy and chunky.
