Recipes FAQ

Can I use dried black beans instead of canned?

Yes, you can! Soak 1 cup of dried black beans overnight, then drain and rinse. Add the soaked beans to the pot with 4 cups of vegetable broth and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Once the beans are cooked, you can proceed with the recipe as written.

Can I use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth?

Yes, you can use chicken broth if you prefer.

Can I leave out the spices?

You can, but the soup may be a bit bland. The spices add flavor and depth to the soup.

Recipe Tips

  • For a thicker soup, blend half of the soup in a blender and then add it back to the pot.
  • This soup is great for meal prep! Make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for later.
  • If you don't have smoked paprika, you can use regular paprika instead.
  • If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of cumin and chili powder.
