Tips:
- Use dried black beans: Dried black beans are more flavorful and nutritious than canned beans. If you use dried beans, remember to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be soft and creamy, but not mushy. This will take about 1-2 hours, depending on the type of bean you are using.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Black bean soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or tortillas.
