Prepare this delightful spicy black bean soup, a straightforward and nutritious option for a satisfying lunch rich in plant-based protein.

My relationship with beans was not always positive. As a child, I despised them, finding their texture strange and unpleasant. In our household, we primarily prepared beans in a pot of chili or a cold bean salad that my mom made during the summer. It wasn’t until I moved out on my own that I truly understood the cost of food and the cost-effectiveness of canned beans. I began incorporating them into my diet regularly. Initially, I only consumed them straight from the can, but as I experimented with various bean varieties, I discovered their incredible versatility. Beans are suitable for everything, from stews and salads to soups, just like this spicy black bean soup.
