The ingredients for Vegetarian Black Bean Soup (Slow Cooker-Style) are:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large-size red onion, chopped
1 medium-size red or yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 medium-size green bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 16-ounce package dried black beans
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles from a can (these chiles give quite the kick, so leave them out if you want a milder soup)
7 cups hot water (your hottest tap water is fine)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Here is how you make Vegetarian Black Bean Soup (Slow Cooker-Style):

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until they begin to get soft and brown, stirring frequently (about 6-8 minutes). Add cumin and garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously for about a minute. Transfer skillet contents to the slow cooker, adding the beans, chipotles and hot water. Set your slow cooker on high and cover. I cook mine for 6 hours, but check yours at 4 hours because the brand and freshness of your dried beans can affect your cooking time.When finished cooking, put two cups of the soup into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, stir back into the rest of the soup. Add in the lime, salt and pepper. I then like to add a little dollop of low-fat sour cream and some fresh cilantro (these are not included in the nutritional information).Enjoy! and visit www.smittenkitchen.com for the full blog post.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TIGLI22.
