1 pound dry black beans
1 ½ quarts water
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used canned black beans, which made it even quicker. I also added a can of corn and some chopped cilantro.

I've tried many black bean soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so flavorful and hearty. I love that it's also vegan and gluten-free.
