This no fat, low cal, high protein and fiber slow cooker black bean soup is super easy to make and super delicious. Let the slow cooker do the work!
Ingredients
  • 1 lb dried black beans, soaked in water over night or at least 4 hours
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 4 cups unsalted vegetable stock
  • 4-6 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon espelette pepper powder or chili powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Rinse your soaked beans off and pick out any debris.
  2. Add the beans, carrots, onion and garlic to your slow cooker.
  3. Pour in the vegetable stock, the salsa and 2 cups of water.
  4. Add all your spices and give it a big stir.
  5. Cook on high for 6.5-7 hours - the beans will be very soft.
  6. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the slow cooker until it reaches the desired consistency - I like mine pretty smooth.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
