This black bean soup is a vegetarian soup recipe that's humble yet dazzling. It's layered with savory and spicy flavors, and can be made in about 30 minutes.

Black bean soup is a staple recipe in many countries around the world. There are versions from Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico, and other countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. My recipe is heavily influenced by traditional Cuban black bean soup recipes, but of course, I've tweaked it a bit to my liking!

  • I am Mexican American and I grew up eating this soup. I’m so happy you added the lime at the end! It truly is a humble and comforting soup 😊
  • Great soup. I used DRIED BLACK BEANS which I first cooked in a pressure cooker. For anyone wondering, the volume of cooked beans to match the three 15 oz. cans in this recipe is 4.5 cups.

    I'm from Venezuela, and I grew up eating black beans, pinto beans, lentils, chickpeas... All kinds of beans with rice and avocados from the tree in my grandmother's house. Her secret for the vegetable base was to put white vinegar after the spices, letting the alcohol evaporate and making that acidity give an incredible touch to the vegetable base, cumin and coriander can never be missing. And we give it that dairy touch with grated white cheese, lots of cheese! But sour cream helps too! Your recipe looks delicious, congratulations!
  • In Brazil we don't consider it soup. It's a main dish that we serve over rice. I will definitely try your recipe. Thank you.

    As a student on a student budget, your recipes have come through numerous times. Keep the more beans, lentils, pasta etc recipes coming 😂💖

    Made this for dinner tonight. My husband only added rice and chopped onions. I went all the way with rice, onions, sour cream, spritz of lime juice and avocados. It was delicious. Definitely a make again!
  • I make this soup, but with an ingredient that you are missing that gives it the ultimate yumminess: red bell peppers, not green, not yellow -- RED! I put a whole bunch of fresh chopped cilantro also, then serve with a dollop of sour cream and some of the chopped cilantro as garnish. Best ever!

    I HAVE THROWN OUT ALL MY OTHER BLACK BEAN SOUP RECIPES! This is the most amazing, remarkable soup I have ever tasted, and my friends said the same thing! They said if I only ever make one soup ever again, THIS ONE IS IT. 100 STARS! THANK YOU!
  • @cboy-ou2hr
    I just love the way you eat so simple, organic, and refined I remember when I was looking for a channel that expressed all these traits and being frustrated at trying to eat healthier after stumbling upon this channel by the fall meal prep I've been obsessed with the food thank you from the bottom of my soul
  • And don’t forget to not touch your eyes after you cut up your jalapeño! Thank you for your wonderful recipe ❤️
  • @jtdiffen
    A little dry sherry added to the each bowl before serving gives this delicious soup a very classy touch. 😉😎

    I made this soup today! You are so right, fresh lime juice is a must! I only added one spoon of Greek yogurt as a topping. Quick and delicious
  • @suzyb4536
    You were not kidding! This soup is delicious!! We topped it with Doubliner Cheddar, green onion, sour cream, Cilantro and squeeze of lime. Perfect amount of spicy/heat. Thank you for sharing with us.
  • I’m a novice cook at best and this recipe turned into the best Black Bean Soup I’ve ever tasted. Bravo!
  • I made this for dinner tonight. It's so yummy! We're all sick, and it's so nice to eat a hearty healthy soup. I've been looking for a simple black bean soup recipe forever. This is it! Thank you!!!
  • @branka570
    The first time ever I had black bean soup was in this tiny little restaurant in Jupiter FL. They served it with a lime wedge, little bit of Greek yoghurt and a mango, cilantro and red onion salsa. It was so delicious. This black bean soup tastes almost identical to it. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m making it for the second time in one week
  • Your recipe was delicious. I added one cup roasted corn (TJ frozen) and 1/2 tblsp smoked paprika. For me, corn goes with black beans like peas goes with carrots. I did your whole roasted chicken last week. Thanks for the great, easy videos.
