1 red onion, chopped
2 sweet bell peppers, chopped

Sometimes the healthiest things come in the most flavorful packages. Nothing fancy here–Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean Soup is just an amazing tasting soup that will truly satisfy!
- Saute onions and bell peppers over medium-high heat until slightly browned. Add garlic and cumin; saute for a minute more, then transfer mixture to a 6-Quart Slow Cooker.
- Add dry beans and chipotles in adobo sauce. Pour hot water and broth over all.
- Cover and crock on HIGH 3-4 hours; if beans are not soft enough, crock 1 hour longer.
- Puree 1/2 of beans in blender until smooth, return to crock and mix all together. Stir in lime juice and salt. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
NOTE: Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream on top, diced red onion, or tomato.
Happy Crocking!

Great post! When do I add in the veg broth?
Staci, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have edited the post, as you would add it with the water. Appreciate you letting me know. Happy Crocking!
I would recommend soaking the beans before cooking this recipe. We ended up cooking it for another 3 hours just to get the beans tender enough even after blendibg half of them. Otherwise, great taste!
