Canned black beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, frozen corn and spices simmer in the slow cooker in this easy, protein packed soup.
I’m a huge fan of black bean soup, because it’s healthy and so easy to make, and this Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup is loaded with so many delicious flavors and textures, it’s sure to become a favorite.
If I’m being honest, I’m the only one in my family who likes black bean soup. As far as I’m concerned, everyone else around here just doesn’t realize that they’re missing out.
But I still make this soup often, because it freezes beautifully, and I can stock my freezer with individual servings of soup to enjoy for lunch any day of the week.
I actually like to start this soup in the slow cooker before I head to bed at night, then it’s ready for my lunch the next day. Of course, if you’re planning to serve it for dinner, you’ll want to start it in the morning.
It’s really easy to adjust the heat level of his soup by simply choosing mild, medium or hot Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes and green chilies). You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for even more heat.
An immersion blender is a handy tool for making this recipe. You can put the blender right into your slow cooker and puree the soup to give it a thick, satisfying texture.
Of course, you’ll want to add the corn after you puree the soup. Unless, of course, you like pureed corn.
Depending on how health conscious I’m feeling, I might top my soup off with some cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips or diced avocado, along with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.
This is a hearty, filling soup that will fill you up and satisfy you on even the coldest winter days, and there’s usually plenty for leftovers the next day.
Be sure and add this Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup to your recipe collection. It’s a winning recipe you’ll make again and again.

I made this soup last night for dinner. I did not grease my slow cooker and did not have any issues. I found the soup to be really, really thick so I added 1C of homemade vegetable broth. That seemed to help a bit. I would make this again due to it being SO easy to prepare. I served this with homemade cornbread and a garden salad.
