Wonderful recipe! It is easily modified when cleaning out your refrigerator...be creative! I added some leftover mexi-corn, a red pepper, and forgot the rice, but this recipe is so tasty no matter what! I made extra and freezed it...it will be wonderful pureed into a sauce over cheese enchiladas. I plan to make again and again! Thanks for sharing!

This was a HUGE amount of food. We had tons left-over. I have really been into black bean soup lately, but this was not one of the best. It needed more pepper and a dash of hot sauce. I hate when I feel like I have to add quite a bit of hot sauce to make food taste good and that was the case with this recipe.

I really like this recipe. It's cheap, healthy and good. I have made it multiple times exactly as the recipe states. I cook it in the crockpot and puree it a bit with a stick blender for a few seconds.

I thought the recipes needed a bit more spice. By substituting 1 habanero and 1 dried chipotle pepper in place of the fresh jalepenos, I found that I could get the amount of spice I enjoyed. Overall though, this recipe is easy and delicious. I use the leftovers in place of a side of refried beans in other mexican inspired dishes. The recipe is cheap and easy to make. Thanks!

I LOVE this recipe. I have made it at least 10 times, never the same twice! I use canned black beans, substituting the liquid from the cans for part of the water. This causes the soup to be thick and full of flavor. I have found that the end product is delicious served like a chili, on wheat noodles or rice, with cheese on top, and that it is delicious spicy or not spicy, using two green peppers or one hot pepper and one green. Thank you for submitting this delicious, healthy meal!

After looking for a veggie-heavy crockpot dish on here, I was really excited to try this one out. I must say it did not disappoint! Very good all around healthy recipe. As recommended by several reviewers, I used chicken broth instead of water (16oz.) and basil instead of cumin; I thought the cumin would be too strong. I also may have used more rice than recommended because it came out more like a jambalaya than a "soup", per se, but I am happy with the texture. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I feel like the flavors kind of blend together too much and a lot of the individual character is lost. Still, I will make this again as long as my fiancee enjoys it!

Easy and good! Next time I will use 1/2 the amount of black beans. I didn't puree 1/2 of the beans but added extra rice (I used wild rice). This made the soup very, very thick which I like. This is a definite keeper.

I had dry lentils,rice and black beans to use for dinner...and this was a perfect recipe! I only added what I had on hand (bell pepper, garlic, onion & tomatoes) and with the seasonings...it was delicious! Not a soup consistency...more chili/rice and beans. Very flavorful and great with cornbread!

This was quite a nice soup. My family likes it spicier so I doubled the spices. Combining the rice, beans, and lentils makes it a very nutritious soup. I like to saute the vegetables ahead, which makes it more caloric, but I made it the way it was written and it was good.

I am not usually a tough critic and I hate this soup! I followed the recipe exactly and the taste is just awful. I don't like to waste food so I'm slowly getting through it by dumping in a pile of shredded cheese which makes it bearable. Clearly I would not make this ever again.

Great! my slow cooker would not get beans done, so I had to switch to stove top. I have trouble getting beans to soften up.

This soup was great. I didn't have any black beans, so I used small red beans. It was still wonderful, and the kids liked it! I added a few extra spices and more carrots and celery than it called for. Perfect!

instead of using 1 pound of black beans- i used a mix of black beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I would say this is more like thick chili than a soup, but it is amazing anyways.
