Holy cow is that hot! And I didn't even add the jalapenos or chili powder! I took a short cut and used canned beans, also added carrots and celery. Really good, I'll just have to cut the spice WAY down. Even my husband was sweating, and he loves his hot sauce.

This is a hassle-free recipe. The leftovers were great warm or cold with crackers and melted cheese. I did add some other seasonings and veggies to give the soup more flavor. I also didn't add as much of the spicy seasonings as the recipe called for.

Is it possible to make wear out a recipe? I have already made it 6 times or so in the last two weeks and have not got tired of it yet. It is simple and great tasting. Try it you will like it.

Awesome flavor, perfect spicing. I made it with ingredients as written and it is a great simple soup. I would probably add onions next time but I love onions. I did cook it on high for at least 6 hours because I like my beans really soft.

YUM!!.. This soup turned out really good!! I have made Black Bean soup in the past, but they did not compare to this one. I followed the other reviewers advice and added green pepper, onion and a can of diced tomatoes. I also made sure to soak the beans overnight. I wanted a slightly creamier soup and ended up pureeing half of the soup. It turned out perfect, spicy but not too spicy! I have added this one to my favorites.

Great recipe - and so healthy! I threw in a can of diced tomatoes, half a diced yellow onion and half a green bell pepper, and two diced chicken breasts. I garnished with shredded cheese, sour cream and sliced avocado. It was a big hit with everyone. My only complaint was that the beans weren't soft enough. But that's my fault, as I didn't soak them over night - just for a few hours in the afternoon. I mistakenly thought that 6 hours simmering in chicken broth would get them tender enough. Not true! I guess it has something to do with cold water vs. hot? Will soak the full 12 hours next time.

I thought this was pretty good, but just needed something. I added green chili peppers, onion, Rotel tomatoes, and finally rice. The additions just seemed to give it more substance since hubby wasn't totally thrilled after his taste test.

Delicious soup! Even good with a little shredded cheese on top; drained and beans put on nacho chips or in a soft taco! A must try! Thanks.

Excellent simple soup - did some thickening with a stick blender directly into the crock 30 minutes before serving. Was not too hot for anyone, but I used seeded, diced fresh jalepenos instead of canned. Served with homemade tortilla chips and rice cooked with onion and olive oil for a little extra flavor. Couldn't have been simpler to make!

This recipe was a little dull on its own, so I added some onions, celery, cilantro, & stewed tomatoes to jazz it up a little. The tomatoes, especially, helped to round out the flavor of the broth so that it didn't just taste like chili powder. This is also very tasty using vegetable broth, for you vegetarians out there. Very easy to make & VERY well received. It's not really spicy, so don't worry too much if you're faint at heart. The fire-eaters can spice up theirs later on.

Wow! I added a few more jalapenos and Habanero hot sauce, and this was indeed fiery. Brava, Lynn! I'm often disappointed with slow cooker recipes beacuse of their blandness, but I had no such problem here. Also, I added a tomato, onion, freshgarlic instead of garlic powder, and a bell pepper, and I served it with sour cream on the side. Make a big batch--I did, and it worked well tripled (often not the case with slow cookers) and stayed wonderful for lunch and dinner afterward.

I think this recipe was just fabulous. I added one large chopped onion, reduced the cayenne pepper by half (the hubby and kids don't like things too hot), and I was generous with the chili powder and cumin. It did also need a little bit (~1 tsp) of salt. The kids and hubby both loved it, and it was very easy to start in the morning before work. I left it on high all day, and reduced it to low when I returned from work, and let it cook on low for about two hours before dinner time. Very filling, and very healthy recipe.
