How to Make Black Bean Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I have loved black beans since the first time I had them in Guatemala. I even tried to recreate that recipe (and did pretty well, if I do say so myself), and you can find it here. When Cris and I were talking the other day about recipe ideas, she brought up my love of black beans, and now you have this wonderful Crock Pot Black Bean Soup recipe!
This recipe does have more prep work than most of my recipes. However, it is worth it to help the picky eaters in your house eat some veggies, and if you cut up your veggies the night before, you can just dump and go in the morning. As an added bonus, it looks really pretty too. With all the beautiful colors of the diced vegetables, this soup is called confetti soup in my house. It really does look like edible confetti, and it is delicious!
