Spicy Black Bean & Veg. Soup

[bagwell1987]

I'm in the midst of soup canning but I ran out of small white beans so I got the black beans out and decided to do Spicy Black Bean, will do it meatless and add sausage (after butchering in October) later when serving. I find many recipes from Ball Home Canning and Preserving but this one came from allrecipes.com- love that site! So here's what I'm making and canning today. And when it says to take 1/2 the beans and puree, do it. It makes the best soup every time. The richness of flavor from the gravy-like puree is tastebud candy.

   thanks Cheryl ~ awesome recipe

 

  I add more garlic, jerk seasoning, italian sausage, and fresh grown cilantro & basil 
   when soup is fully cooked and ready, placing the whole thing into frig overnite thickens it up to

     a sauce consistency- like you say 'gravy-like'. then reheat next morning.

   somehow soup and chili is tastier the 2nd time around.
 
   when making soup, does anyone else favor using a crock pot?
  lunch is ready immediately when you come home from ministry,
  and those liners make for easy clean up.
