Black Bean Soup #2
Black Bean soup – and about the recipe
Black bean soup is a nutritious and filling dish for any season. My daughter Sarah Beth put this recipe together, and her three boys like it a lot. It’s so simple and easy to make. This recipe also includes ingredients you are likely to have in your kitchen.She’s a busy mom of three (soon to be four) boys, so she’s all about saving time in the kitchen while serving healthy to her family. Our daughter finds a recipe and then adapts it to suit her family. This is one of those recipes.
For this recipe, you’ll have most (if not all) of the ingredients in your kitchen. Homemade chicken broth is by far the best, and so easy to make. I encourage you to try this recipe for yourself.
