The Best Black Bean Soup You'll Ever Eat
Happy Tuesday everyone! I am slowly going through old blog posts and updating the ones where the recipe is no longer available here on Crazy Blonde Life. I explained in another post that the recipe app I was using to post printable recipes is no longer in business and some of my older recipes are gone even though the post is still there (just with no recipe). The recipes are still delicious and worth sharing so today, I updated this recipe for Black Bean Soup and I know you’ll want to make it!
It’s definitely soup season here in North Carolina…the highs have been in the 30s and I don’t even want to leave the house. I know other places are colder but this Southern girl likes warm weather. At least…I can make soup!
When you make this soup, be sure to make extra because the leftovers are almost better!
Most Delicious Black Bean Soup
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil (or a large splash in the bottom of the dutch oven)
- 2 red onions, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 - 28 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound smoked sausage, fully cooked cut in thin slices and sautéd until brown
- Chopped cilantro, chopped scallions and full fat Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and sauté until tender, between 6 and 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for a minute more.
- Add the chicken broth, black beans, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Using an immersion blender or stand blender, blend the soup, leaving it somewhat chunky. Add the cooked sausage to the soup and heat until the sausage is hot. Serve with cilantro, yogurt and scallions.
