Easy Black Bean Soup
Heat 2 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until hot. (I love this soup pot as it heats up quicker, doesn’t stick, and cleans up quickly!)

Best Black Bean Soup
Pour in 4 cans of drained, rinsed black beans and 4 cups of vegetabe broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, until the broth is flavorful and the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Black Bean Soup from Scratch
Transfer about 4 cups of the soup to a stand blender. Securely fasten the lid, and blend until smooth (never fill your blender past the maximum fill line, and beware the steam that escapes from the top of the blender, it’s very hot).
By using a blender to puree part of the soup, it will be extra thick and creamy!
Simple Black Bean Soup
