This is so flavorful, but considering I’m not a fan of black beans, I used kidney beans. It was wonderful and simple. So far all your meals here are Keepers. A little tweek here or there and the family loves them.
Awesome! Thank you, Alice!
I love this flavourful soup.
Hello Kelly. i just saw the live class for the ten meals. it was so much fun to watch. I have four kids of my own. 26-7 yo. as soon as the live class was over i purchased the pro. My family and I are not big fans of wild rice. Can I use regular white rice?
I FORGOT TO SAY THAT IT WAS FOR THE BLACK BEAN AND RICE SOUP
I am wondering where you can buy wild rice? Is it in bulk or in a package?
Either one will work. I believe I have bought it both ways in the past.
I have found wild rice in a plastic tub container if that helps.
I just did my prep for my ten meals today. Made this Black Beans soup. So flavorful and served it with tortilla strips. Next time I may add Sour Cream as a topping instead of Shredded Cheese.
I love the shopping list and saved money too.
I purchased the pro 2 days ago.
We don’t like wild rice. Could I use white or brown rice as long as it wasn’t the quick cooking type?
I would think you could. She’s all about use what you have and substituting
Do you have to thaw before cooking?
When using the pressure cook method, do you use low or high pressure? Thank you 😀
I just made this in Instapot and you use it on high. It was awesome.
I added grated sweet potato, parsnips and rutabaga to thicken and add more vegetables to it, made it very thick and tasty. Will make again, my sister and I loved it.
Very point friendly for weight watchers as well.
For all the recipes that require black beans or any type of bean, do we always have to used canned? Would I be able to use dry black beans here? If yes, how would the cooking time change?
I dont think so since cooking from dry it takes 40-45 min in the instant pot, what I do is I do garbanzo, beans, black beans etc in the instant pot and then freeze them in small freezer bags instead of buying them in a can, then add them to my instant pot
I think the way to use dry black beans would be to could up ahead of time and freeze in recipe portion sizes and use like canned. Or cook the beas in the crock pot most of day and add the rest of ingredients midway through the cooking process.
This soup was so flavorful and filling. We loved it. First recipe I’ve tried since signing up. So excited. I also did my first freezer meals too. So glad I joined the Pro.
My boys ages 8, 5, and 2 loved this! We renamed it “Nacho Soup.”
If you are cooking it and not freezing it first, how long in the instantpot? Thanks!
I have the same question — how long in Instant Pot if not freezing first?
Do you thaw before cooking in crock pot?
Can this be made in the crockpot from fresh, not frozen? If so how long would the cook time be, 6 to 8 hours? Thanks.
I’ve made this soup several times and it is one of my favorites.
This was the first meal I made. I’m not a true fan of Black Bean Soup ….. until TODAY! I used a cup of drained canned corn instead of frozen. I really enjoyed the soup but the next time I make it, I will add a can of diced tomatoes, not drained.
I cook up a pot of rice and add a scoopful to the bowl and pour the soup over. This way you get as much or as little rice as you want in the dish. Also, you can cook the type you like and not affect the soup.
Hello Mom of 2 . My husband is from Guatemala so we eat a lot of black beans and rice with meals this is one I’m looking forward for him to try. My only thing I have to do different is a add chicken or steak to it because that’s how they eat soups he lets me when I try to make a no meat or poultry night.
