minimalist baker black bean

Boy 12. This recipe was delicious! Very tasty! Thank you for introducing me to chipotle peppers in adobo sauce AND using chocolate!!! I didn’t add chicken or the greens, but didn’t need it. I will double this next time and freeze half? I like all of these ingredients separately but for some reason I wasn’t a fan of the combination of them in this soup. Speaking of spices, I added paprika once and it was a nice touch. { Using Garden if Eatin’ Red got blues chips because my kids find those mild enough, haha. } xo. Absolutely delicious! Thanks! Plain worked nicely but I think prepared or flavored would work as well. Just made this and thought it was very good! Loved this recipe! In a pinch, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips as a substitute, and they worked out fine. Cilantro Add coconut milk, pumpkin purée, drained black beans (option to increase amount if not using chicken), and cooked chicken (if using). And, I didn’t have any cacao so I skipped that.). Thanks so much for sharing! So much delicious flavor!! I have never cooked this type of flavor profile before so it was a little out of my wheel house to be able to adjust the seasonings but I am so glad I tried it as it is absolutely amazing!! I enjoy your blog and have made lots of your recipes successfully – and even served them to my omnivorous friends with great results! It’s so filling, and made a lot of soup (great for meal prep). The depth of this soup is unbelievable. There is so much depth of flavor, it’s balanced and warming, lots of veggies, and not sure if I mentioned delicious yet. We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Mindy! I might have gone a *wee* bit heavy on the chipotle…but hey, it’s cold out! Check out this tutorial! I’ve started just making my way through your 30 minute, vegan, entrees, filters, and this one was Insane!!!! did use the coriander. Number of servings will depend on your appetite. Thanks so much! Your site is A+!Thamk you so much and Congratts! A 30-minute meal or side that's customizable and incredibly satisfying. It’s better to take the seeds out and cut it up. Thank you. We will definitely make this one again. Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Meg! Thanks so much! It’s super helpful to us and other readers! I used one full fat and one light coconut milk, love the extra creaminess the full fat provides. Thanks for the recipe! Thanks so much for the lovely review! My family loves this soup, but makes me do the jalapenos in a separate bowl to be added by individual taste. Thanks so much for the lovely review, Sejal. I ate this with rice and added avocado and sour cream on top. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding chipotle peppers for spice, chocolate for depth of flavor, cumin or chili powder for smokiness, or more salt and pepper to taste. I frequently visit Minimalist Baker for inspiration in my meal planning – so many wonderful vegan recipes. Thanks for sharing, Kathrine! Coconut milk, lime, spices, pumpkin, and broth create a seriously flavorful soup. Hope that helps! It was perfection. It’s savory with just a hint of heat and sweetness. Made it without the chicken, it was awesome!! You could probably also sub whole dairy milk if not dairy-free OR a high quality cashew milk. Yum! I did this in the instapot—no chicken with one pound of soaked black beans (8qt instapot, otherwise I’d recommend 1/2# beans.) Thank you for giving the heads up on that or mine might have been too thin in the end. Maybe left it simmering a bit longer at the end because it’s VERY thick, more like black beans than black bean soup. Never thought about putting canned pumpkin or coconut milk in chili, thanks for blowing my mind. Cooked an additional fifteen minutes before adding the beans/pumpkin (full can)/coconut milk to get the sweet potato tender. However, I’ve never seen any canned pumpkin in my country (Germany), and also no fire roasted tomatoes. We’re so glad you enjoy it, Katie! Beans and chicken made it filling — no need for a side dish. Already looking forward to making it again :). I think my family will love it. This was everything I needed today, being slightly under the weather. Next time would you mind leaving a rating with your review? Are they just supposed to add the smoky flavour or is it something else? I felt like I was just being hit in the face with the chilies (I only added 3). Even better the next day, mine turned out like chili. This has quickly become a house favorite. Thanks so much! It’s also versatile with options for both meat eaters and vegans. Thanks so much! Quick story of how this recipe saved an otherwise undesirable dinner of leftovers. I was loving the flavors until I added the chocolate. Thank you for the absolutely delightful recipe! Thanks for sharing, Sue! That kick between of sweetness and fire is great! Thank you again for another incredible recipe! Loved it! ? It was not a disaster at all, it just didn’t hit any high notes either. The Instant Pot has a ‘bean/chili’ setting, so I’d assume that would be the correct one. I’m not super into spicy, but I think the jalapeño gives the soup an essential kick and isn’t overpowering. Did anyone else have this problem? Lovely recipe! Will make it again soon. Thanks for this delicious and healthy recipe! I halved the recipe as I only had one can of black beans, I substituted the ‘chipotle peppers in adobo sauce’ for 1 tsp chipotle paste (from M&S) as I am in the UK and have never come across this. I’m curious if you could make this recipe in a crockpot? Delicious fall soup! I thought it was fabulous! Even my 18 month old enjoys this! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! I added some salt at the end – but the soup was really flavorful from all of the spices and other ingredients. Added a bit of fish sauce in stead of salt and it turned out pretty darn good. Made this yesterday, and it was fantastic! 4 Epilogue (Beans, Brownies, and Loving thy Neighbor-hood) February 28, 2015 | circusdadandbroccolimom. Approximate nutrition info is as follows per serving- iron 3.82 mg, folate 160.27 micrograms, and 68.94 mg. Hope that helps! I may used crushed tomatoes instead of diced next time because I thought the tomato flavor was too dominant. ? Did you make any other modifications? Adding the suggested lime really took the soup to a new level of yumminess. My teen daughters and I are vegetarian and I am constantly trying to find wholesome recipes that they will enjoy. Just made this – I love it! This is the best black bean soup I’ve ever made! It’s the ideal Alaska meal going into winter! Love your modifications, Laura! It also reheats well. This was 2 thumbs up from the whole family. It was so good, I had to add it to my list of regular soups. We’re so glad everyone enjoyed it! ? They’re wimps. xo. Thanks! How do I turn this off? It was such a simple recipe and quick recipe, but delicious! Bring back to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes (the longer it simmers, the more the flavors develop). The addition of the chocolate/cocoa powder was subtle yet powerful. Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo. At the very end I used my immersion blender for a few seconds just to purée it a drop. I would’ve never thought to add dark chocolate but it kinda seems like the obvious. I was running a little low on ginger so I didn’t get enough in there, but got a few bites where I noticed a hint of ginger and it was magical. Will definitely make this again! I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so so easy and so dang delicious! It should be fine cooking on low for 4-6 hours. Kids loved it, we loved it, and our non-vegan parents said they really enjoyed it, too!! It’s perfect for feeding a crowd. Will keep in the freezer for 1 month (oftentimes longer). The flavors were fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Natalia! This totally hit the spot! Topped with avocado and fresh cilantro added a nice dimension to the flavors and made for great presentation. Thanks so much for sharing! I presented it as “build your own” beans: And don’t add any delicate ingredients (like lime juice and greens) until just before serving for best flavor/texture. Did I click on a recipe with chicken and that changed my preferences? Thanks so much for the lovely review, Julia. I didn’t add the jalapeño, but otherwise I followed the recipe. I added diced red bell pepper (I had one I wanted to use up) and it worked really well. xo. Made this last night as it was a chilly day in south Texas. Just get a load of this guy! This! xo. I kept fairly close to the original recipe, but did make some changes, and I have an interesting idea for the next time I make them! I made this yesterday with some tweaks, I added veg when sauteing the onion garlic (celery carrot and cubed potatoes) and tomato puree. I did not add chicken. Prepared and flavored, or plain out of the can? one thing I really liked, there is plenty of liquid in the soup (I think I can tend to cook it out). This comforting soup is a fusion of both Thai and Mexican cuisine (two of our absolute loves), requires ingredients you likely have on hand right now, and is made entirely in 1 pot. We are a family of: This soup warmed me up on a cold night. This is the best soup I’ve ever tasted. It’s super helpful for us and other readers. I wasn’t too sure about the fusion of Thai and Mexican (though I love them both individually), but this soup was so yummy. Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? Followed the recipe closely, only adding smoked paprika to the spice mixture and spinach at the end. I quickly roasted some shrimp with the extra ginger and pumpkin and added it into the soup. This is so good! I have a few people who aren’t super into coconut so I was thinking of subbing in cashew cream or vegan cream cheese…which do you think would work better? I added a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top, some crunched up quinoa tortilla chips, and a lime squeeze (and a margarita). I add sour cream and guacamole to mine sometimes, but I could also just eat it straight. Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications! Very complex flavors we both enjoyed!!! We topped it with cilantro and avocado. It’s truly a fabulous soup… I’m thrilled! It took longer than 30 minutes for me to make, but was very yummy. Be sure to sauté your onions and garlic and other veggies before adding the remaining ingredients. Thanks for sharing! It’s the perfect warm fall meal.

Thanks for the lovely review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review! So good. You can add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in place of the green chilies. I opted for almost 2 cups broth and used about 1.5 cups of pumpkin. It will be in heavy rotation! It has excellent flavors and topping with extras is a great idea! We’re so glad you enjoy it, Diana! It’s tasty on its own but also pairs well with cooked grains, tortilla chips, avocado, onion, and salsa! Thicker with less broth, it was a great stew with rice, also cauliflower rice. Thanks so much for the lovely review, Vivian. Left the chipotle peppers out and added 3 more cloves of garlic. I still love MINIMALIST BAKER. Do you think you’ll invent something similar to Cava’s Tomato Harissa soup? We’re having this tomorrow as the second course of a Thanksgiving meal. Can’t wait to try it as written once this whole lock down mess is over. not a whole other cup though. I also added an extra half cup of pumpkin too. xo. I made it with no oil, no added salt, used one chile pepper in adobo sauce, & chopped up approximately 3 tbsp. Paired it with some brown rice, avocado, cashew sour cream and some lime juice. Even though I have been cooking for years, this was my first time using chocolate in a savory recipe and I LOVED it. I’ve never had black bean soup before and didn’t know what to expect. Hi, Dana! A fusion of Thai flavors and classic chili, this 1-pot pumpkin black bean soup is perfect for colder months. If you have the time, the soup could simmer for more than 15-20 minutes. Boy 17 Whoop! I make it at least once a month! Thanks. Mine was a little watery but I chop that up to adding a bit to much broth (used your recipe for making bone broth). No chicken. This recipe will definitely be revisited. We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Sara! My son and his fiance made this delicious soup with incredible flavors for us last week. I paired this with a pepita-based taco salad recipe for work lunches this week and found the 4 bowls estimate was more like 3 for me. This made a lot. #plantbased #buddhabowl #glutenfree I blend about half the batch for a thicker soup, and have served it over quinoa or potatoes for a hearty meal.

I was a little skeptical of the Thai/Mexican thing, but it was so, so good! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Tiff! I used unsweetened cocoa powder as my chocolate substitute and instead of adding the actual chipotle peppers, I just added the adobe sauce that was in the can (I found it easier to control the spice level this way). Delicious and so so quick and easy. We then added crispy baked kale as a garnish/stir in when serving. We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Brooklyn! I will definitely be making this again. Thank you! I love all of your recipes, and this one looks fantastic too. (Disclaimer: I have only used the instant pot 3 times. I’ll have to make some rice to go with it for my leftovers.
