Recipe from The Backporch Restaurant Cookbook by Debbie Wells

I sometimes use boullion cubes with water if I don't have vegetable stock already made.

Hearty black bean soup, with a healthy dash of lime. Very easy and very fast.

Very hearty soup with fresh flavors. Add more of the beans' cooking liquid for a thinner soup. Sweet potatoes would be a nice addition.

Easy, quick, healthy and dang tasty what more could you ask for?. Another great recipe courtesy of TheKitchenHotline.com.

This version omits the ham hock, and adds tomatoes, diced red pepper, and cilantro.

This is an informal recipe that I like to throw together for brunch or breakfast. Vegan and protein packed, it's very filling.

Easy high fiber quick soup dinner made from canned black beans based upon a dish we were served in Puerto Rico. Can be made vegetarian by omitting the ham.

I LIKE TO SAUTEE THE ONION IN THE EVOO, THEN ADD THE BEANS AND TWO LIMES AND SPICES LIKE CUMIN, SALT, PEPPER, ETC. DURING THIS TIME I MAKE THE BROWN RICE. BYTHE TIME THE RICE IS DONE, THE BEANS SHOULD BE DONE AS WELL. COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS (I THINLY SLICE THE AVOCADO AND LAYER THROUGHOUT)ADDING THE .5 CUP OF CHEESE IN THE COMBINATION AND USING THE OTHER 1 CUP OF CHEESE TO TOP. THEN BAKE AT 375'F UNTIL CHEESE IS MELTED AND BUBBLY (10-15 MINUTES)

Everyday Happy Herbivore

Easy slow-cooker soup that cooks overnight. This is spicy and nutritious, but most of all, delicious!

Though the amount of cayenne, jalapenos and other spices seems like a lot, they really mellow out in the soup and it won't be extremely hot - just the right amount! The soup thickens and the flavors really blend to a finely seasoned soup once pureed.

Tastes great and easy to make!
