Simple Spicy Bean Soup In A Soup Maker

This spicy bean soup is perfect for filling up on a chilly day. Make it in a soup maker on a chunky or smooth setting using your favourite beans or a combination of a few varieties.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

👉 Packed with Flavour: The combination of spices, tomatoes, and beans gives this soup a rich and bold taste.
👉 Healthy and Filling: Beans are an excellent source of protein and fibre, making this soup both nutritious and satisfying.
👉 Customisable: This recipe is versatile – you can adjust the spice level, swap out beans for what you have on hand, or add your favourite vegetables.

What You Need

It’s always a good idea to have a few tins of beans stored away in the cupboard. They come in handy for so many different dishes. Although I usually end up throwing mine in with a slow cooker recipe, they also taste great in a soup.

For the full recipe, or to print it out, head to the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • A mix of your favourite beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, or cannellini beans, I used a 400g tin of mixed beans, use two tins to make a thick soup, or one for a medium consistency.
  • Chopped tomatoes for a rich and tangy base, you can use fresh tomatoes if you have some, but perhaps add some tomato puree in too.
  • Spices like chilli powder, paprika, and cumin for that warm, spicy kick.
  • Onions and garlic.
  • Vegetable stock – I used some buillon powder, but you can use a stock pot, cube, or your own homemade stock.

I have made this recipe in both a Morphy Richards (1.6L) and a Ninja Soup Maker (1.4L).

Simply add everything to the soup maker, add enough hot water up to the line and give everything a good stir.

I’ve recently started to use Marigold Buillon Vegetable Powder in my soups, but a stock pot or cube will work too.

You can either make it on chunky or smooth. I have done it both ways – I think my favourite is chunky followed by a quick manual pulse/blend at the end to give it that in between consistency.

Serve with tortilla crisps, grated cheese or some crusty bread. It is a deliciously filling soup with a hint of spice.

Tips for Perfect Spicy Bean Soup

Adjust the Heat: If you love it hot, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or fresh chilli. Prefer it milder? Use less chilli powder and skip the fresh chilli.
Experiment with Beans: Use any beans you have on hand – mixed bean tins work perfectly for a variety of textures and flavours.
Make it Your Own: Add extras like chopped sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or even a handful of spinach at the end for added nutrients.
Meal Prep-Friendly: This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

I hope you enjoy this spicy bean soup recipe, let me know in the comments if you make it!

This is my new favourite soup. I usually avoid the spicy soups as I don't do chilli. However I used mixed beans in the spicy tomato sauce. Added paprika instead of the chilli powder. Also had a pepper to use up. Cooked on chunky, loved it,very warming on a cold day.

Iโ€™d like to make this soup but I have a different brand of soup maker (Lakeland). When you say โ€˜add hot water up to the lineโ€™ please could you tell me how much water that would be? Many thanks.

Hi Clare - that would depend on the exact measurements you are using - I would say probably around 750ml though. Hope that helps, let me know how you get on!

Hello Liana

Chilli usually put me off any recipe (or any product containing it). I do not 'get' foods with a spice so dominate that you cannot taste anything else, and it takes several days of tooth brushing and mouthwash to get rid of the after taste.

However having great faith in you, I made this soup with just the tiniest pinch of chilli flakes. Tt worked well. Mouth Intact!
