We absolutely loved this vegan spicy black bean soup for dinner tonight. It’s so easy to prepare, doesn’t require a ton of ingredients, and it’s so affordable that it can be worked into most dinner meal plan budgets.

You can modify this black bean soup as you like. The basis of my black bean soup was:

  1. Black beans
  2. Crushed tomatoes
  3. Scallions, jalapeño, and yellow onion
  4. Vegetable stock
  5. Spices like chili powder, garlic powder, paprika

You can modify this with ingredients like a can of green chilis, chipotles in adobo sauce, or with roasted poblano or red bell peppers.

This recipe is so easy to prepare! We also served it with warm, crispy tortilla strips but you can use store-bought or omit them. We also served it with thinly sliced avocado on top and it made it a delicious and filling meal.
