Black Bean Soup

Black Bean Soup

Everyday

Black bean soup is a thick, protein-rich dish made primarily from simmered black beans blended with aromatics like onions, garlic, and spices such as cumin and chili powder. Originating in Latin American cuisines, this hearty soup provides substantial dietary fiber and plant-based protein, while the beans’ dark skins contribute antioxidant anthocyanins. Many versions are naturally vegetarian or vegan, often finished with a velvety texture from pureeing a portion of the cooked beans.
