Vegan Black Bean Soup is a Hearty and Delicious Meal
Y’all, it has been so cold here. Like it got below freezing yesterday.
I am dy-inggggg.
I know I am dramatic, but I seriously thought that by spending January in Orlando I had officially opted out of winter.
Apparently not though.
Luckily it isn’t going to last long – it will be back up in the 70’s by the weekend. Until then, I am consoling myself with soup.
Specifically, this Vegan Black Bean Soup.
It is hearty and healthy and has everything that you need to power through a cold day.
With red pepper, onion, garlic, quinoa, black beans, carrots and corn, you’ve got a Vegan Black Bean Soup that is packed with nutrition. I added in fresh cilantro and touch of lime juice at the end, and toped is off with chopped tomatoes, red peppers, and carrots. So yummy!
Variations for This Recipe:
- For an extra kick, add 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce and 2 teaspoons of chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder.
- Use two poblano peppers in place of the bell pepper.
Tips & Tricks
- This recipe is amazing topped with this Cashew Sour Cream and Seasoned Tortilla Strips. (I’d use organic tortillas and cook in my AirFryer.)
- You can use canned beans, but I much prefer to make my own. Check out this Slow Cooker Black Bean recipe for an easy and delicious way to make black beans in bulk.

This time of year is definitely when I break out the stuff for soups. This one looks like it would be so delicious and hearty.

Is it 1 can of black beans, or 1/2 cup of canned black beans? The formatting of that ingredient for the soup is confusing.
Wendy Polisi
Sorry about that! It is fixed now.

RE: Black Bean Soup. I am confused about the amount of beans. I use 1/2 cup of dried beans to equal one can of beans. Your recipe calls for “1/2 cups cooked black beans 1 can.” Do you mean 1 to 2 cups of cooked beans (which would about equal 1 can)? Or is it 1/2 cup of beans from 1 can? I am never averse to using more beans. I just would like to know how many are called for in the recipe.
The recipe sounds good, by the way, and I will give it a try.
Wendy Polisi
Great question! It is actually supposed to be 1 1/2 cups. For some reason when I imported it to the recipe plug-in it stripped the 1. It is fixed now. Sorry about that.

Thanks for sharing the recipe. This is perfect in this chilly weather in the north.
