SLOW-COOKER BLACK BEAN SOUP
Start your slow cooker in the morning and by dinnertime, you'll have deeply spiced black beans that just need a quick blend to become a velvety and vegan black bean soup. While not essential, a smidgen of baking soda helps the beans soften so they end up almost fudgy. Blending some of the beans with their liquid gives the soup body; for a very smooth soup, purée the whole mixture. A little vinegar and a flourish of toppings keep it from being one-note. Leftovers will thicken overnight, so thin as needed with water or turn them into refried beans.

Steps:
- In a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the beans, onion, garlic, chipotle chile and sauce, cumin, bay leaves and/or oregano, and baking soda, if using. Add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender, 8 to 10 hours. Taste more than one bean to ensure they're all cooked through; they should also flatten without much effort when pressed between your fingers.
- Remove and compost the bay leaves. Transfer the onion, garlic and chipotle chile to a blender or food processor, along with about 2 cups of the beans and broth. (You can purée more or less of the soup, depending on desired consistency.) Blend until smooth. Pour puréed soup back into the slow cooker, stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt. Eat with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Use dried black beans. They're more flavorful and nutritious than canned beans, and they're also cheaper. If you use canned beans, be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Soak the beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good vegetables to use include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and corn. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, at the end of cooking.
- Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. Use a variety of spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some good toppings include sour cream, avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
Black bean soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover black beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of black bean soup that the whole family will enjoy.
