![]() Okay, the last part was an exaggeration, but the point is that I've gotta just give you this recipe and go try to whip something up with whatever random ingredients I have laying around the house. I'm starving and salivating and gently caressing my computer screen every time I scroll past a picture of Spicy Black Bean Soup. It was love at first bite I came up with this recipe several years ago. Look at where my distrust of local weather stations has gotten me. I tried black bean soup for the first time at Panera Bread 15ish years ago. I should have thought ahead like the rest of New Jersey and ran out to go grocery shopping the second I found out a snow storm was on its way, but I never believe the weather predictions. Seriously, can I stop talking about this now? I'm really making myself hungry and pretty much all we have in my house right now is coffee and pop tarts. It makes it even better once you realize that it's pretty healthy! High in fiber, protein, and antioxidants and low in fat and calories, this Spicy Black Bean Soup will make sticking to your New Years Resolution so, so easy. I adapted this recipe slightly from Iowa Girl Eats, and I had the same reaction when I first read her recipe. If you just audibly groaned at that description, I don't blame you. It's like the love child of Panera Bread's Black Bean Soup and Chipotle's Vegetarian Black Beans. ![]() ![]() I can't run out to get the ingredients to make my favorite cold-weather meal tonight, because they haven't even plowed my cul-de-sac yet! However, if you're not buried beneath 6 inches of snow where you are, then let me live vicariously through you, and make this tonight. It's downright masochistic for me to force myself to type out how delicious and warm and spicy this recipe is, to talk about my obsession with black bean soup, to stare longingly at the photos knowing that I'm snowed in today. On a cold day, I typically order a Low-Fat Vegetarian Black Bean Soup with a side salad or an apple. First things first, I need to tell you that writing this right now is pure torture. ![]()
