This soup has become a regular meal at our house- it’s delicious! It’s an instant pot recipe, though it can easily be made on the stovetop as well. Black beans are a great source of vegetarian protein, and adding more legumes to your diet has so many health benefits- they’re full of nutrients and fiber needed for a healthy diet!
INGREDIENTS:
1 onion, chopped
2–3 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks of celery, chopped small
1/2 bell pepper, chopped small
1 small carrot, diced small
1.5 tsp cumin
1 cup dry black beans, rinsed
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp salt
1/2 lemon juiced (2 tbsp)
Note: I’d suggest making it according to the recipe for the first time, but for me, it had a little too much salt, lemon juice, and cumin, so now when I make this soup I reduce those amounts slightly, as well as reducing the amount of water for a slightly thicker soup. Also, when I make it I always double it to make a larger amount.
