I know that this was rated really good by a lot of people but it didn't suit my taste. Chilli powder was too strong, should have been left out completely. I had to add rosemary, celery salt, garlic, 2 onions and some left over pork roast to make it edible. In the end it came out well. I always appreciate trying new recipes but for me this one was not a winner.

The flavor was great, however I left out the jalepenos and it was still very spicy, so spicy in fact my husband couldn't eat it. Though i suppose it is called "Spicy slow cooker..." So if you like very spicy food this is great

Even with all the spices, this still was too bland for us, very chalky! I was hoping to really like it, maybe I am just not a black bean soup kinda girl!!!

Really good flavor but definitely needs a little salt. Also, my beans were way too firm so I didn't get the creamy texture I was hoping for. (I soaked 12 hours overnight and cooked 12 hours on low.) Once I figure out how to get softer beans this will be perfect!

I added smoked chicken and I used canned black beans. This soup was AWESOME! The best black beans I think I've ever eaten.

I made this today for a luncheon with my friends and everyone loved it! The only changes I made were to use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian, and used 1/2 the jalapenos which was plenty. I also used my hand blender to blend it at the end to make it thick. Delicious! Everyone loved it.

I have never made black bean soup before so I am not sure if I did something wrong. While I like extremely spicy food the cayenne pepper was way too much. There was nothing tasty about this soup.

Good base recipe. Here are the changes I made: - Puree half the beans after slow cooking - Mix one tablespoon corn starch in a 1/4 cup of cooled soup - One small can tomato paste (helps soup thickness) - 2 tbsp worthesire(sp?) sauce Serve topped with diced cilantro, tortilla chips and sour cream.

I would give this recipe more stars if it weren't for the extreme heat level of it even after I cut back on the chili powder. I like spicy food but this was too much, however it was great with added cooked rice and leftover shredded beef from a "shredded beef for tacos" recipe I found on AP. I did use canned black beans (some of those pureed like another reviewer suggested). I had a lot of Cilantro in it also which my husband thought I added too much of, but I loved the dish and so did all of our six children. Thanks for the recipe.

This a really good base for a great soup. I added about a half cup of diced onions and a half pound of bacon that I had browned in a skillet together. An imersion blender used lightly gives it a more authentic touch I think.

This is a very good soup to add to one's recipe collection. I did cut back on the heat and it still had a good flavor. I also, used my immersion blender to give the soup a little more thickness. Too top of the soup I added a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheese and served it with cheese-its.

I am a HUGE black bean soup fan, but this one just did not do it for me. I followed the recipe exactly, but the beans were never softened (for future cooks, be sure to boil the beans, even though the bag directions do not tell you to). Even after running the soup through with the immersion blender, it was still WAY too runny for our tastes.

This was delicious. Modifications: 3 cans beans, 1 can diced tomato, 1 can chicken broth, 1 pkg taco seasoning, 1/2 lb ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 can diced green chilies, 1 teaspoon jalapeno pepper. Added all to crockpot. Followed the hint to blend 1/2 the soup to make creamier. Topped with sprinkling of cheddar. Will definitely make this again and wasn't too spicy.
