Thick Vegan Black Bean Soup


I was trying to think of a more appealing name for this soup but the name is exactly what it is, a thick black bean soup that happens to be vegan and delicious. It is also a very easy recipe that is cheap to cook up for dinner any day of the week.
Delicious Rating: This soup is full of healthy goodness that tastes great. I blended half of the pot with an immersion blender which gave it a better consistency for soup but still had some chunks of vegetables and beans. My DH & I really enjoyed it and it is great with some garlic crusty bread!
