Love black beans, love soup, love to eat healthfully? This soup is a no brainer. It's my comfort food when it's rainy and cold outside and it doesn't keep me in the kitchen for hours like my other comfort food (chicken and dumplings) You can easily make this a vegetarian soup by substituting the chicken stock with vegetable broth.
