Both my husband and I loved it (and he's not a fan of soups, or beans, or veggies). My adjustments include: subbing 1 can of refried black beans for 1 can of black beans, thereby eliminating need for blender. Used red bell pepper instead of green (YUM), garlic powder instead of garlic, 2 carrots instead of 1, omitted ham because none on hand, added juice of 1/2 a lime. It was fabulous! Garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, salsa, fried tortilla strips. Will definitely make again. This is a very mild version, could spice it up if preferred. Quick and easy.

I loved this recipe! I prefer a 'smooth" black bean so when finished cooking I pureed it in a blender. It took me straight back to Mexico (where I think the best black bean soup is found). Thanks for a great recipe.

I have made this recipe several times and our whole family likes it. I have made it with a can of refried beans instead of blended black beans, and we prefer it that way. I also add extra carrots and garlic, and pass on the sour cream.

This was a big hit among my vegetarian, vegan, and meat-eating roommates! Loved it. I skipped the ham and the green pepper. It reheated very well. I served it with cheddar biscuits.

AMAZING!!! I added an extra carrot and 1/2 tsp cumin. Once I added all the ingedients, I used an immersion blender and blended the whole soup. I served it with cheese and fried tortilla strips. This is absolutely delicious and will become a regular on our menu!

As written, I think this would have been a little bland tasting for me, but it was a very good base to build on. I added about 1tsp. chili powder, a dash of ground cayenne pepper, 1 stalk of celery, a little less salt & about 2Tbsp. of ketchup. In the end, this had really good flavor. My husband wasn't thrilled with the idea of black bean soup, but ate it enthusiastically. Good post!

I used some left-over chicken tenders (not breaded) instead of ham and a yellow pepper since that's all I had. It was pretty fast and tasted good.

Pretty good and easy to make! I skipped out on the ham and used vegetable broth. Great hearty soup and goes well with bread with melted cheese on top. mmmm:)
