Chipotle-Black Bean Soup

People talking
One of my favorites. I sometimes use four cans of black beans in place of the dried, and all chicken broth without the water. I also like to puree the whole batch with my hand blender, but that's just personal preference. This is a very forgiving soup, so just do what you like!

Very good soup - I did use four cans of black beans which made for a very quick meal. Added some left over chopped cooked chicken for a nice meal on a cold winter night. Thanks for posting.

This soup was excellent! I used canned black beans, spiced it up a little bit more (personal preference) and mashed some of the soup with a potato masher instead of using a blender. BF said this was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe :)

Wow - a new fav in my cookbook! I too was forced to use canned chipotles (availability) but stole Rita's suggestion of using a bit of the sauce. Wonderful smokey undertone. Hearty and filling soup and easy to make. Will definitely make again.

Surprisingly my kids loved this soup. I made it for my husband and I, and the kids polished it off. It is easy to make as well. I left out the cumin for personal preference but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for the recipe. -
