Ingredients

16 ounces dried black beans, sorted, rinsed (equivalent to 1 lb or 2 1/3 cups)
1 cup ham, cooked and finely chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, chopped (1 large tomato)
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped (1 medium bell pepper)

Steps:

In 3 1/2 to 6-quart slow cooker, combine all ingredients; mix well.

Tips:

Use dried black beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible.
Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil before adding them to the soup will help to enhance their flavor and add depth to the soup.
Use a variety of spices: Cuban black bean soup is typically made with a variety of spices, such as cumin, oregano, and bay leaves. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the beans to become tender.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Cuban black bean soup is traditionally served with white rice, but it can also be served with other toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or salsa.
