Notes
-
We also threw some cooked, diced sweet potato into it. Note, I did not include potato in the recipe as I wanted the leftover soup to go in the freezer and potatoes do not freeze well. (they get very mushy!). - *You could alternately use 2 – 15 oz cans of no salt added black beans, you may want to add another 1/2 cup of vegetable broth if you do this!
- **adjust to your level of spiciness
