Spicy Bean Soup Slow Cooker Food

SPICY BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic, and saute until the onions are translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, oregano and crushed red pepper, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, tomato juice, tomato paste, cheese rind, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the broth, garbanzo beans, cannellini beans, and lentils. Stir in the broccoli, zucchini, and yellow squash. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender and the mixture thickens slightly, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Season the stew to taste with more salt, if desired.
• Ladle the stew into bowls. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and basil, and serve.

SPICY BLACK BEAN SOUP (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• For black beans either: 1) soak overnight and then drain/rinse before adding to slow cooker OR 2) combine with vegetable broth and bring to a rolling boil for 15-30 minutes before adding to slow cooker (broth and beans).
• Combine beans, jalapeños, corn, and vegetable broth in a slow cooker.
• Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• **I used an immersion hand-blender to roughly puree the soup before serving. This gave it a little thicker texture. You could also serve "as is" or puree in a food processor.

SPICY SLOW COOKER BLACK BEAN SOUP

• Drain black beans, and rinse.
• Combine beans, jalapenos, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.

SLOW COOKER BLACK BEAN AND HAMBURGER SOUP

Steps:

• Brown the hamburger meat, drain the fat and place the meat into a slow cooker.
• Add the beans, seasonings and broth. (You can soak the beans before if desired - I never do!).
• Cook on low for around 8 hours or until the beans are tender, adding water or additional broth as needed. I usually need to add about 2 cups of water as the beans cook and soak up the liquid.
