Crockpot Black Bean Soup
This crockpot black bean soup is the perfect mix of filling, comforting and nutritious. If you want it to be vegetarian, just use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. You can turn up the heat a bit by adding a jalapeno, a few dashes of hot sauce, or some red pepper flakes.
