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.

Very good, not too spicy. I added onion - everything tastes better with onion!! I also used my immersion blender to thicken it up a bit. Would make it again on a cold winter day.

My husband thought this was very good. It is very spicy, so beware. I'm a mild to medium salsa kinda gal and found this far too hot for me.

As my husband well said "This soup kick butt. With numchucks!" I made a few changes to accommodate my supplies on hand. I had to use up some tomatoes pronto so I put in 2 chopped romas. Also, I had a 1/2 lb of ground pork that I threw in. Didn't have cayenne so I added a few more dashes of hot sauce. I deseeded two of the four peppers to reduce the heat a little (my poor sister STILL thought it was too spicy!! I thought it was perfect). I also used fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder. Served up with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and irish cheddar cheese. SOOOOO yummy. Enjoy!

This was really cheap, easy and delicious! I added about 1 cup of leftover refried black beans, which helped thicken the soup a bit. Note that black beans don't need to be soaked overnight, just boil them for 10 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker with everything else.

Taste was pretty good on this soup, but I think that next time I will probably add some smoked sausage to make it a little more substantial.

I was nervous about trying this because the ratings were so divided. But I'm happy to announce this rating is positive! I soaked my dry beans from 6pm until 12pm the next day. I only used 4 cups of broth, and I added a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and a diced Jalapeno pepper. Per another reader's suggestion, I also added one packet of Goya Sazon. When it was done I blended half of it, and served with cheddar cheese and sour cream. I will make this again.

Very good recipe. But it's too spicy, and coming from me that's saying something. Perhaps my jalapenos were particularly potent, but I think it was too much cayenne. Add 1/2 the amount, you can always add more if needed later.

Added all ingredients in the crock pot the night prior and left in fridge while the beans soaked overnight. I used fresh jalepeno, cilantro, and red onion and added everything else as instructed. Due to the advise of another I added 2 packets of sazon which really enhanced the flavor. I opted also not to puree half the soup (my blender is broken). The soup came out perfect and not hot at all - the entire family loved it. I will make this again.

Instead of "soaking" the beans overnight, just wash the beans; add the chicken broth (or whatever liquid you want to use); bring to rolling boil for 10 min., cover and let set for 2 hrs. Easy, and a "no fail" way to soften any bean you want.
