Have you noticed the craziness of procuring meat from the grocery store lately? I have a few local sources for beef but the craziness has me trying to make a few more meatless meals. Meatless meals for me and the kiddos, the man of the house would not be too interested in a meatless meal. LOL
Instant Pot Black Bean Soup
My kids love beans and rice, but there are just so many times during the week you can eat beans and rice so we had to come up with a new way to eat some yummy beans. This black bean soup was a hit with all the kids. It can be a meal by itself or as a side for some tacos….yum!
Instant Pot Black Beans
First you need to start with a delicious pot of black beans. Since we eat a lot of beans I order organic beans in bulk from Azure Standard. When I was younger I struggled with a good flavorful pot of beans. This recipe is foolproof and has great depth of flavor every time.

Black Bean Soup
Add to your beans 1 can of chopped tomatoes with chili’s and 4 cups of broth. Take about 1 1/2 cups of beans and blend in a blender until smooth. Add the blended beans back to the black beans (say that fast 3 time…shhesh!). I blended and reincorporated 3 times, I still wanted some whole beans in the soup. Add to the soup 1 cup of water, or more depending on the liquidity you prefer for the soup.
