\"crockpot<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago a friend brought me some black bean soup to try. It was delicious and I immediately asked her for the recipe. Like most recipes, it was tweaked and she couldn\u2019t quite recall everything that went into it, but gave me a good base to start from. Since then I\u2019ve made 3 different batches and tweaked it myself to create a delicious, hearty soup that is a true set-it-and-forget-it crockpot recipe (my fav!).<\/p>\n

When I use crockpot recipes I am looking for one that can simmer all day. Not only does it make the house smell delicious, but to me, the point of using a slow cooker at all is that you don\u2019t have to attend to it.<\/p>\n

Using dried beans keeps the cost low, though you will need to soak them the night before. In fact, you could do all the prep the night before and just turn it on before you leave for the day. In the morning, simply rinse the beans and add them to the crockpot with the rest of your ingredients.<\/p>\n

Turn it on low for 12 hours and high five yourself that dinner is taken care of!<\/p>\n

When you are ready to eat, simply use an immersion blender<\/a><\/strong> to make it as smooth as your taste buds prefer. Or use a regular blender and blend in batches. It\u2019s a good idea to take out the center of the top and cover loosely with a paper towel to allow steam to escape.<\/p>\n

Then, top it with your favorites: avocado, scallions, red onions, sour cream, Greek yogurt, cilantro, hot sauce, etc.<\/p>\n

\"slow<\/p>\n

This is a great recipe for kids, too. I don’t think the cayenne makes it too spicy, but you can always leave that out if you are feeding the family. For my girls, I add a sprinkle of cheese and serve it with corn chips for dipping. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
