Black Bean Chipotle soup

[cydkitty]

This is a recipe that came with my crock pot (with some changes by me)


1/2 pound dry black beans (recipe called for a whole lb)
2 stalks celery chopped
2 carrots chopped ( I used a big handful of baby carrots)
1 onion ( I used a bunch of green onions)
2 chipotles canned in adobo sauce chopped ( I used 4)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can chopped green chilis
6 cups broth ( I used less and used water)
2 tsp cumin
( I added a big bunch of chard because I had some wilting in the fridge)

boil beans and let soak for 1 hour

drain and add beans to crock pot
add all other ingredients

cook low for 8 hours add salt and pepper to taste

serve with cheese, salsa, cilantro, or sour cream ad desired




It is cooking now and smells wonderful!

This looks great. I am definately going to try this soon, and already printed it. I will probably use more chipotles, also.

I'm wondering how the greens hold up in the soup over a period of days? I want so badly to include them in my soups - but am fearful that it would make my soup icky in the fridge by Friday.
