  1. So pleasantly spiced/seasoned. This is incredibly healthy and easy to make. It makes a wonderful lunch. I made no changes to the recipe, but I may puree a portion of this soup next time I make it to thicken it a bit. Thanx for sharing!
     
  2. Very tasty and easy to make.
     
  3. Excellent, low fat, low salt bean soup recipe. I used dried beans (1lb) soaked for 8 hrs in cold water then rinsed and cooked them in the simmering soup, and I used chipotle chili powder for more kick.
     
  4. Delicious and very flexible recipe! I omitted the cilantro (I don't like) and corn (kid would object), and added 1 stalk chopped celery. Even found I had only 1 can of black beans, so subbed 1 can red kidney beans. Also, I used a red onion for extra depth of flavor, and 1Tbl. butter instead of spray, and I blended the soup at the end. Ahh, this site is really about inspiration more than literal devotion, huh? ;-) Thanks, Niffer'!
