24 Hour Black Bean Crockpot Soup

I love the smell of this soup. You can put it together fast. I don't pre-soak the beans. Just wash and sort. This makes a thick soup and I freeze the extra. You can serve it over rice or put it in a fat free tortilla with some l. f. cheese. It's thicker the second day and sometimes I use it for veggie dip.

1 (16 oz. bag) dry black beans
1 pint salsa
1 ( 15 oz. tomato sauce
1 (15oz.) can diced tomatoes
2 onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed

Wash and sort beans. Put in crock pot. Add water to cover. Add rest of ingredients. You should have a full (3 1/2 quart )crockpot. Cover and cook low 20-24 hours. High, 15 hours. If you use high, stir occasionally. Master cook calculates this as 12 cups, 150 cal, 1 fat, 7 fiber each cup.

Just wanted to let you know that I threw this in the crockpot yesterday and I can't wait to eat it today with some brown rice. I woke up in the middle of the night and it smelled sooo good! I just tested it a couple minutes ago to see if it was done and the flavor was incredible!

Thanks for the great recipe!

Great recipes!

One of my favorite easy crock pot recipes (if you even want to call it a recipe) is to get a pork shoulder, trim the fat off of it, put it in the crockpot with a bottle of barbeque sauce, slice up an onion and throw it on top of the concoction, and then cook it on high for 6 hours. Once it's done, shred the pork with a fork and serve it on healthy buns (we use Arnold Sandwich Thins) and a salad. Really easy and tasty and it reheats well for sandwiches the next day.

 

[Cindylou]

1 can chickpeas,
2 c chicken broth
1/2 lb ground beef or turkey
2 small eggplants or medium zucchinis, chopped (I used eggplant, zuke and asian eggplant)
1 pound fresh mushrooms (any kind), trimmed and sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 leek chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cups peeled, seeded, chopped tomato

I put all this in the crockpot for 8 to 10 hours. It was delicious!!

I made this recipe and added chicken breast to it. We ate it last night and tonight. My son and I absolutely loved it. He added hot sauce to it, but I liked it just the way it was. Thank you for the recipe!!!!
