quick and satisfying. We opted out of the jarred salsa; and opted in fresh, off-the-ear corn, a touch of chili powder, two cloves pressed garlic, a few shakes of red pepper sauce. Served with cubed avocado on the side and paired with corn tortilla quesadillas. Yum!

Doubled the recipe and served to a group of friends and heard great comments! I was thankful to find an easy bean soup recipe I had most of the ingredients for already!

Black bean soups are sometimes too bland. Not this one! Full of flavor. I substituted one can of beans for a dry bean soup mix. I didn't care for the lime and made it a second time without it. This is my new alltime favorite soup recipe.

This was SUCH an easy and delicious recipe. I added cumin and fresh cilantro, used vegetable instead of chicken broth and omitted the salt and pepper. TRY THIS NOW!!

Prior to reading reviews, I too added corriander, and also carroway seeds. I also threw in a hand full of cilantro. Taste great to me

This is easy and delicious. I used hot salsa for an extra kick. Top with low fat shredded cheddar and low fat sour cream - this soup is filling, is low in fat and has tons of protein.

What an easy recipe. My husband is a meat and potato man. I added some bite size Hillshire sausage and it really was great, with colder weather approaching what a better way to come home to a BIG bowl of this soup? Try it, you will like it.

This soup was so good that you would not guess how easy it was. I diced a carrot into very small pieces and sauteed it with the onions just to add a bit more fiber and vitamins. I tasted it before and after adding the lime juice, and the lime really added zing!!

This reipe was amazing! It was easy and so delish! My husband and I are vegetarians so I used vegi broth instead, added a little cumin and doubled the corn, and we loved it so much it's now one of our favorites. Also, I topped it with un-salted blue corn chips- Yum!

It was so easy to make and my husband loved it! It did cook it for longer than the recipe called for - about 45 mins - and I think the beans became softer that way.
