Black beans are a handy standby to have in the cupboard for a variety of meals. They work well in stews as well as soups. I like to add in some sweet potatoes alongside some spices to really add some sweet warmth to this soup.
You can add in which spices you have on hand, for this recipe I added a little cayenne pepper as well as cumin.
Aside from a little peeling and chopping, there really isn’t much preparation involved with this soup recipe, yet the results are a delicious.

Hi Anna - you can add the liquid too, you might want to check if there is any extra salt in though and reduce other seasoning according to your taste - hope that helps!

Hi Anne,
I would probably just leave it out rather than sub it with anything - you could add some extra seasoning of your choice, celery salt is quite a good one to try.

Thanks for all these delicious recipes. I didn't have any black beans in but used borlotti beans instead and it still tasted amazing!!!!

Hi Liana,
I just bought a saute soup maker and your book for my mum as she's elderly and doesn't really like cooking!! Thanks for the tip ref the soup-maker with saute function by the way, I'd already ordered one without, so thankfully hadn't used it and can return it.
Ref the recipe above it doesn't list the sweet potatoes in the ingredients, how many are you using please? It is 2 as per the picture?
Going to try out a recipe with her tomorrow and I have really high expectations as you have sooo many good reviews for the soup maker book :-) By the way when is your 'More soup maker recipes' book being published?
Many thanks Sharon

Hi Sharon - sorry for the delay in replying, I haven't checked my comments recently!
Thanks for letting me know about the sweet potato omission - oops. I have updated the recipe now to read 2 sweet potatoes. How is your mum getting on with the soup maker?
I'm hoping to release my 2nd volume of soup maker recipes in November, subject to me making them all beforehand!
