Instant Black Bean Soup

I think I would use this as a filler for another mexican style recipe more than a soup....I cut back on the broth as suggested so maybe that is the reason. The flavors were definitely good

Part of the reason I'm giving this soup 5 stars is because of how incredibly easy and fast it is to make, while still tasting extremely yummy! I took the advice of a lot of the other reviewers and added cumin, which I like because I feel like it adds a little more depth of flavor to the dish. I also added the amount of stock the recipe calls for, but then just let it simmer for about 30 or 40 minutes, so I ended up with a pretty delicious, non-watery soup in the end! Also, HUGE plus, I just moved, so I didn't have any of these ingredients on hand, and buying them all only cost $12, and it was lunch for me for a week!

Delicious and super quick

This is actually pretty good. I wouldn't think so since it's so quick. I, of course, did not read all of the comments through, so I missed the parts about just pureeing just one can of beans and adding less liquid, so it is a little thin. But I like the idea of adding a little rice to give it texture.

This soup was amazing. I didnt have chili powder so I made my own: 1 tsp each cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp oregano. I only used 1 TBS of that mixture, plus the other spices called for in the recipe. I also started by sauteing some onion, garlic, and green pepper. It was as easy as it was delicious! Served with Border-Style Shrimp :) Even my picky boyfriend said this was a keeper.
