     This is a good basic recipe. I like to add other things to spice it up and give it more of a healthy punch. I saute up about 1/2 c. each of onion, celery and carrots in a bit of butter. Then I add 1 tbsp of cumin. I blend it & add another can of beans to give it a few chunks. Serve w/ sour cream. - 2/2/11

     Swapped vegetable broth for chicken broth to align with my vegan life style. I'm a garlic lover so I added about a teaspoon of minced garlic and two tsp cumin. So good, and so quick to make. - 3/11/12

     This soup is awesome! I added a tsp. of cumin and it was delicious creamy goodness! I added fresh cilantro and fat free sour cream as toppings.I will be making this soup at least once a week. - 1/1/12

     I love this soup! I add cooked chicken and a little cilantro and dont blend it. I've also cooked it down some and used it as a dip. It's awesome no matter how we fix it!! - 1/12/11

     Loved it! I made it with dry black beans, and it took 30 minutes to cook them in pressure cooker (I used about 1.5 cups dry beans + 4 cups water + 1 chicken bouillon cube). After the beans were cooked, I added some chili pepper paste, the salsa and 2 cloves of garlic, then puréed in Cuisinart. YUM! - 9/1/10

     Awesome, used low sodium chicken broth which cut the sodium drastically. Topped with 2% Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and you wouldn't know the difference. Husband loved it and he is picky. Will keep it on the dinner rotation for sure. - 9/23/11

     How much is in one serving? Looking to try it, but want to make sure I know how many servings I'm eating? Hard to eye ball 6 servings from a pot. - 12/28/12

     Great recipe! I adapted the recipe: I added about a cup cut bell pepper and half the beans to the pot. I let the pot simmer for about 10 minutes then I pureed the mix in a blender, leaving it slightly chunky. I put the mix and rest of the beans into the pot to simmer 10 more minutes. Yum! - 9/9/12

     I doubled the recipe so I had leftovers for work all week and I added cooked shredded chicken breast for more protein. This was excellent and so easy. Thanks - 3/4/12

     Make sure you check the nutrition information...different brands have a different amount of calories per serving of broth, beans, or salsa. I'd suggest doing a recipe makeover to check your ingredients. - 12/29/12

     Love this- I added a few diced sweet potatoes, cooked in the broth first. - 8/18/11

     Absolutetly fabulous. The cilantro is the key. A small dollop of PLAIN fat free greek yogurt gives a tang like sour cream but without all the calories. - 12/28/12

     Pretty darn good and quick! I wish i hadn't blended it so much, but otherwise, now one of my top recipes. - 2/16/11

     Yum! I had this with dinner last night. The flavor is really good for just 3 ingredients! It was a bit too soupy for me as a black bean dish. I will just use less broth next time. Thank you so much for sharing! - 1/16/13

     I, too, add cumin to black bean soup. It doesn't take much but it makes a world of difference. - 12/28/12
