Sometime ago I found a new passion – preparing one-pot soups, stews, and stir-fries. I think it’s a great way to save your time that you have to spend on cleaning kitchen and doing dishes. Plus, these recipes are usually not complicated at all!
Like this recipe for amazing Caribbean black bean soup. It’s so easy, yet so delicious. And everything is made in just one saucepan!
Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThere are no other words needed, you just have to try it for yourself and see how quickly you will fall in love with this soup. Like I did.
I’ve done this soup some time ago and still remember its super rich and a little bit of sweet taste. That’s because I used my favourite spice – smoked paprika. If you want to give this soup even sweeter taste, replace smoked paprika with sweet paprika!

Of course, I cannot stress how essential is to use all other spices in this recipe. Oregano, cumin, coriander, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper… You need it all to create the fabulous black bean soup! (You can leave cayenne pepper out if you don’t like your soup hot.)

Obviously, the main ingredients for the black bean soup are black beans. The best are organic black beans which can be purchased via Amazon. Depending on a country you live in, they can be quite an expensive item on your shopping list. I always try to buy them in bulk (usually in 12-pack).
If you like your soup a bit smoother, it’s possible to mix it with a hand mixer for a few seconds, just until you reach a nice, smooth consistency but you can still see some whole black beans.
