The days are becoming shorter and the temperature is dropping, which to me means blankets, pumpkin everything, and SOUP. With this recipe I have combined over 2 or 3 different black bean soup recipes and in my opinion, this is where its at. Normally I always give credit to those who have inspired my recipes but I honestly lost track of which ones I was "picking and choosing” from. But that is what's so fun about cooking, you can customize each dish you make to be what YOU like. And same goes for here. Possibly you aren’t a fan of jalapeños (which is insane), so feel free to omit. My husband isn’t a fan of raw cilantro, so I usually skip that topping for him. Quite frankly, I’m not sure he even knows the difference between this soup and my chili. Either way, he crunches up about a pound of tortilla chips and heaps on the cheddar cheese. He is really grasping onto my healthy habits… This soup also freezes and reheats very well. It makes a whole crockpot so between the two of us, we couldn't possibly eat it all. I used my freezer/microwave safe glass containers bought from Ikea, and covered them with plastic wrap before locking on the lid. Im not sure if the plastic wrap plays any role in this, but what I do know is that there always seems to be a plastic covering on frozen meals, so I thought, what the hell. Freezing meals is a little newer to me, because for some reason I have not been doing that with left overs. And now, I see how crazy that is. Having home cooked, healthy frozen meals easily accessible in my freezer? Thats a no brainer.
