Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup Recipe (2024)

Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup Recipe – This delicious black bean soup is packed with flavor and made even easier with the slow cooker!

I’ve always loved a good black bean soup and this slow cooker recipe is absolutely delicious! And it can’t be any easier! Just toss all of the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning and set the timer. Then enjoy a hearty, delicious soup packed with flavor ready in the afternoons. This soup recipe is one that I especially turn to on busier days!

Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup

With less than 10 ingredients, including the seasonings and the oil, it really doesn’t take long to prep for the slow cooker. But, I will share a little trick. Many times, I go ahead and prepare all of the ingredients ahead of time.

How to Prep Ahead

Like I mentioned, this soup could not be easier. Except with this little time saver I like to use. I chop the onion and jalapeno and measure out the spices. I rinse the beans and place everything into the slow cooker insert. Then, I just pop the lid on the slow cooker crock, or insert, and place it into the refrigerator overnight.

The next morning, I just remove it from the refrigerator and pop it into the slow cooker, set the timer and go! This makes the prep in the morning so simple and easy. And I know that we’ll have the amazing soup ready and waiting on us for supper!

This black bean soup is also perfect for serving throughout the year for guests who are vegetarian and vegan since it does not contain meat or dairy and uses vegetable broth. But, those meat-lovers in the crowd definitely won’t be complaining! The black beans are so hearty that I’ve never had anyone miss the meat. If you enjoy black beans, give my Weeknight Black Bean Chili a try too. It’s quick enough for any busy night and so satisfying too!

Once it has cooked all day, it is rich and ready for serving!

This black bean soup is a bit spicy with the red pepper flakes and the jalapeno. If you aren’t a fan of spicy soups or flavors, just omit these ingredients if you like or adjust to your preference.

I like to garnish with a few fresh green onion to not only add a pop of color but also a little fresh flavor to the soup as well. If you aren’t worried about the dairy, you can also serve with sour cream, shredded cheese to really take this soup over the top!

How to Freeze

Cool. Once cooked, allow to cool completely.
Place in Containers. Portion into an airtight, freezer-safe container(s), label, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw. Allow to thaw overnight.
Reheat and Serve. Reheat in oven or microwave until warm and serve.
