Comfort food...black bean and rice soup.

This black bean and rice soup recipe is so filling and warm, it is perfect for these cold winter days. Plus, as with all my recipes, it is so easy and cheap to make. An added bonus with this soup recipe is it can feed a whole family...or if there are only two of you, like Dave and I, it will last for days. We never get sick of it either. Add some spice in your bowl the next day to mix it up a bit...

Home is with You // Black bean and rice soup

This time Dave and I added a 1/2 cup extra of brown rice to make it a little thicker, like chilli. It's delicious both ways...here's the recipe for the thicker version we made this time...

1 c brown rice
16 oz salsa
32 oz vegetable broth
20 oz refried black beans
2- 20 oz cans of whole black beans

Cook brown rice and 2 c of water to boiling, simmer with lid for about 30-35 minutes. In large soup pan mix broth and smashed refried beans. Add rice, salsa, and whole beans and heat.

Add a little cheese on top or mixed in if you want. Sometimes Dave eats his with some crackers. Enjoy!

  1. Fantastic blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!
