It had really good flavor and my family gobbled it up. However, I think that next time I make it I will only process about 1/2 the beans.

Made this tonight and it was SOOOO good. I didn't have any beef boulloin on hand so I used chicken broth instead and it was still great. I doubled the cans of black beans, used one cup of broth, 1 cup of chunky fresh salsa, and 1 tsp salsa. I served it with extra salsa on the top. Even my picky 3 and 4 year old sons loved it.

This is a really yummy soup that my whole family loves. I made a few adjustments for my family because we like it really thick. I used two cans of black beans, 1 cup of vegetable broth, and 1 cup of salsa. Oh, and 1 tsp of cumin. I served it with organic black tortilla chips. It was so good!
