3. Add broth, beans and liquid, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, vinegar, garlic, cocoa powder, honey, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon.

I was thinking about maybe making this and then I saw the cocoa ingredient, now I definitely have to make this!
mmmmm. black bean soup & rice with cornbread is my husband’s favorite meal. i add carrots and celery too for even more nutrients, but hadn’t thought to add tomatoes. that’ll really stretch it!

hi Jen!
Thanks for the great recipe. I made it last night and served it with cornbread. Very tasty!
This looks so good! About how many servings does it make?
YES! I am totally going to make this later this week. has all my favourite ingredients! 🙂
I just made this soup. Soooo good. One of the best soups I’ve ever made. Absolutely love hte cocoa in it. Yum!
I can’t remember if I posted a comment here or not… but this soup is amazing. I made it and have been sharing the recipe with friends. Thanks Jen!
i know you posted this weeks ago, but i finally made it and i had to come back and say WOW. seriously amazing. i’ve eaten the leftovers two days in a row and i’m not tired of it yet. this is a new staple in my house.
Loved this recipe.. added one tablespoon of Chinese chili sauce for an added kick. Thanks so much for sharing!!
I made this soup tonight and I made it with a slight twist. Instead of using olive oil I used bacon/bacon grease to cook onions. I used a yellow and orange sweet potatoes and let me tell you. I thought my moms bean soup was the best but this blew it out of the water! This is an absolutely amazing recipe ! I plan on making this quite often. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
