Time 10h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried black beans (rinsed)
1 large onion (peeled and diced)
2 medium red bell peppers (seeded and diced)
2 quarts vegetable broth
1/3 cup Franks Cayenne Hot Sauce
6 cloves garlic (minced)

Sour cream (or plain yogurt)

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in a large slow cooker and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. Turn the slow cooker on medium, cover, and cook for 10-12 hours. (You could soak the beans in water overnight to reduce the cooking time by half, but it's not necessary.)
  • Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until two-thirds of the beans are pureed and the soup is thick. Salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm with fresh toppings.

SLOW-COOKER BLACK BEAN SOUP



Slow-Cooker Black Bean Soup image

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.

Time 10h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried black beans (not soaked)
1 yellow onion, peeled, trimmed and quartered
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 chipotle chile in adobo plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 dried bay leaves and/or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Any combination of sour cream, Greek yogurt, corn chips, pickled red onion, cilantro, lime wedges or poached eggs, for toppings

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.
