My family enjoys eating black beans. Instead of heating a can of black beans, we buy a bag of black beans, soak them, and then cook them with added ingredients for seasoning. I have never eaten black bean soup before, but this sounds interesting. Using cans of black beans in this recipe will make it possible for the soup to be made quickly.
