Additions & Substitutions 

Red pepper flakes: If you’d like to add some spice to your soup, add ¼ tsp of red pepper flakes as you boil your soup. This will give it some tasty, spicy heat. 

Double the recipe: This recipe makes two large bowls of soup. If you’d like more, simply double the ingredients for 4 bowls or to have leftovers.

Tips for Making The Recipe: 

• Tip: When you pour your soup into your blender, pulse it a few times before fully pureeing it. 
• Tip: If you like some chunks in your black bean soup, you don’t have to blend it completely. This soup is still tasty with a few chunks. Or you can skip the blender completely for whole black beans in your soup. 
• Tip: If you find that your soup is too thick, add a splash of chicken or vegetable broth. The consistency of this soup is a thick puree, but if you’d prefer it thinner the broth will work well. If you find that your soup is too thin, add more black beans.
