Sarahn’s Tip: Make sure you get the right kind of canned food (beans and corn) for the soup. If you accidentally get the wrong one, it can throw off the texture a little. It might make for a different soup though, so experiment away!
Sarahn’s Twist: I added some garlic seasoning to the soup when it was cooking and added avocado to each bowl for an additional taste (I love avocado with any and everything!)
Sarahn’s Taste: I just started to get into beans when I became a vegetarian about 8 months ago. I'm still adjusting to the texture of black beans, but I loved this soup because its well seasoned and very filling. #sarahnsays
