This flavorful Black Bean Salsa Soup can be made in a blender and is ready in 20 minutes!
Quick and Easy Black Bean Salsa Soup
Feel free to make this salsa-spiked soup as mild or as spicy as you’d like!
The type of salsa chose plus the jalapeño and it’s seeds will help control the heat.
You can nix the seeds before adding the pepper or skip the pepper entirely for a mild soup.
Love spicy soups? You can choose a spicy salsa in addition to adding the jalapeño pepper and it’s seeds to the soup.
I used canned beans this time around as a speedy shortcut but you could also whip up a batch of my crock-pot black beans to use instead.
They’re easy to make and can be portioned out and frozen in freezer-safe containers for later. Simply thaw in the fridge when needed and add them to soups, chilis, tacos, and more!
