Smokey Black Bean and Vegetable Soup

I'm made this with veggie and with chicken broth - both are good.  Good flavors develop.  Freezes well.  Avocado topping is a nice alternative.

great recipe I added coriander and black pepper (1-2 teaspoons), used 3 chiles for added heat and used fire roasted organic tomatoes. Whole family loved it, including in-laws, eats like a meal!

followed recipe exactly and this was great (except I did add some salt)! it definitely has a kick so if you're sensitive to spicy foods, you might want to use only one pepper. will definitely make this one again and again!

I had to adjust a few things for my taste in order to make it a 5 star dish: I doubled the cilantro and put it all in the pot 15 minutes before serving. Also, this calls for NO salt...add some! I substituted 1/2 of the chili powder for Chipotle chili powder and found it a bit too spicy for my 10 year old--but I added a little more sour cream (yogurt) to each bowl and voila! Also, I served this over a slice of cornbread to make all the flavors come to life. Next time: I'll add avocado as a garnish.

Yum Yum!! This is one of our favorites, and I always get compliments when I make it for guests. I also make a few adjustments, I omit the water, leave it chunky, and add corn. It is even more fantastic the next day reheated. Excellent!! It's one of the few recipes I make over and over again.
