Crock-Pot Black Bean Nacho Soup
As I have said before, soup is one of my favorite recipes to cook. Soup comes in many flavors and with a variety of ingredients. I love the ease of soup and the varieties of flavors that I can make. But this is me.
I made this with chicken broth but you can switch that for vegetable broth to make this soup a vegetarian option.
Substitutions
You can substitute the 1 1/2 cups of kernal corn with a can of corn (drained of course). Every summer I purchase fresh sweet corn on the cob from the local farmers. My kids and I then slice off the kernals and pressure can the corn in pint jars. This preserves the fresh sweet flavor of the corn so we can enjoy it longer.
What to Serve this Crock-Pot Black Bean Nacho Soup
And did I mention, I love bread with my soup. Either just a crusty crust bread like French Bread or a slice or two of garlic bread to dip in the soup. This can also be served with saltine crackers and a nice small salad.
