I started making this soup a couple of years ago when a friend of mine shared it on Facebook. I pinned the recipe immediately because she raved about it, and I noticed a few months ago, that the original website that I’ve adapted the recipe from was gone! So, I decided since I made enough changes to the recipe anyway, I’d write up my own version. This easy 30 minute black bean soup is the perfect last minute meal idea.

One of the reasons we love this recipe so much is because you can eat it as a soup, or eat it over rice, or dip chips in it. My kids love it, and my super picky 5-year-old requests it as his favorite meal.
But, the biggest bonus for me, is that it uses canned ingredients that I can stock up on, and this is a great fall back recipe if I don’t have dinner planned. And, it tastes so good it seems like a lot more work than it really is. In just 30 minutes, you can have this whipped up and on your table.
