This is a good base recipe but I would do several things differently next time. Instead of only saving a small amount of whole beans I would save half of them to give the soup more texture. I added some hot sauce because I like a little more spice. I will also add 1 green & 1 red pepper for color. I added chopped green onions on top and it was very good.

This soup is easy and delicious. I added less water, more garlic and cilantro because I found it a little bland at first. I think this is an extremely versatile recipe, with lots of room for experimenting. It also tastes delicious as a hot soup with corn bread.

I was surprised at how good this was. I will add fresh cilantro next time, and fresh veggies such as corn and green onion, celery. Was not spicy enough for my taste, so maybe add jalepeno next time as well. I enjoy this recipe! Thank you!

I am a poor starving college student and the key word is poor and this recipe is an excellent one for us on a budget but are hungry for something that will heat up the mouth a bit (I did not cool it in the fridge and I put in red pepper flakes and a tish of chili powder) thanks!!!!!

The recipe is a great base to build on. I used chicken broth instead of water to add some flavor. I drained the black beans and added a can of diced stewed tomatoes and a can of corn, and an abundance of fresh veggies (red onion, green onion, bell peppers, cilantro, and celery)
