Oh, that looks so good! I’ve actually never made Black Bean Soup, but I would like to try it. I made Bean & Bacon soup this week but that uses white beans. I buy the dried ones, soak them, then dry and freeze them so they’re ready when I want to use them. I need to buy some black beans this week when I go shopping. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Thanks Linda, I hope you like it 🙂 Thank you for sharing your tip about what you do with your dried beans, I’ll have to give that a try. Your bean soup sounds delicious! Please send me that recipe!
