Hearty Black Bean & Poblano Soup

Great dish that was easy yet packed with flavor. Once prep is done this one pot recipe comes together perfectly! We loved the black bean soup with the blue tortilla chips. The chips had a wonderful roasted nutty flavor that completed the soup well. We will definitely choose this again.

This was my first time ever trying black bean soup. I love black beans but was always skeptical to try the soup, however this was a winner and will now be on regular rotation for me. Super easy to make and super flavorful. Those blue tortilla chips are the BOMB as well. LOVE this

I loved this soup. Personally chunky soups are my favorite, so the big chunks of onion, tomato, and poblano really set this soup up for success. The lime creama was a great touch of flavor with the abundance of cilantro (another favorite of mine). The black beans made it filling, but the blue tortilla strips really set the meal off. They were a nice addition to the meal and gave additional texture.

This soup has great flavors to spice it up with & sour cream to cool it & add creaminess. The added blue tortilla chips allows you to add crunch to the soup either in it or dipped into the soup itself. It is great to be able to make this soup quickly. So good!

This is one of our favorites (along with the Mexicali Black Bean Soup). Delicious and easy to make. In both of these soups I substitute BBQ sauce for the Tex Mex paste which is way too spicy for me. Also, I rinse the beans and discard the liquid to eliminate some of the gas-inducing properties of the beans. I find that the soup is thick enough without it. (I do add 1/4 cup or so of extra water to help compensate for the missing bean liquid.)

Easy to make, good taste, but the substitution of black tortilla chips for corn against the beans of the soup is a little like calling ketchup a vegetable. A lot of salt on those chips too. No mention of when or how to add the Tex-Mex sauce, so I just had to add it in and stir it up at the end. It was OK. Spice heat level just right, not too much not too bland. Just too much salt, and needs a real corn food.

Very easy to make. We especially liked the "one pot" aspect, both in terms of ease and clean up. More one pot recipes please!

We love this soup. We made our own cornbread muffins on the side, since it is a bit like a southwest chili. You can never go wrong with Colavita black beans.

I added a half teaspoon of cholula green pepper hot sauce at the end of cooking 🙂 and the blue corn chips were an easy accompaniment, but I made corn muffins (Jiffy brand mix) to go with the soup instead. So good!

I add a can of creamed corn, crushed tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and an extra can of black beans to turn this into soup for a few days. Amazing for the winter months!
