It’s an easy dish, this Chunky and Hearty Black Bean Soup with Vegetables. Yet it’s warm and comforting, even on the coldest of nights.
For me, it often finds its place on a weekend menu. Chock full of veggies, the recipes changes from time to time. I simply empty my produce bin and put what I have left from the week in the soup pot.
Yet the savory flavors remain the same. That smoky cumin and bite of red pepper flakes seem to permeate the liquid and infuse the veggies with just the right amount of heat.
If you’re a heat lover, add a chopped jalapeno to the mix, or use it as a soup garnish.
This black bean soup is one of our favorites, really, all year long. But especially on those cold days of winter.
