- Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until two-thirds of the beans are pureed and the soup is thick. Salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm with fresh toppings.

Steps:
- For black beans either: 1) soak overnight and then drain/rinse before adding to slow cooker OR 2) combine with vegetable broth and bring to a rolling boil for 15-30 minutes before adding to slow cooker (broth and beans).
- Combine beans, jalapeños, corn, and vegetable broth in a slow cooker.
- Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- **I used an immersion hand-blender to roughly puree the soup before serving. This gave it a little thicker texture. You could also serve "as is" or puree in a food processor.

SLOW-COOKER BLACK BEAN SOUP
Start your slow cooker in the morning and by dinnertime, you'll have deeply spiced black beans that just need a quick blend to become a velvety and vegan black bean soup. While not essential, a smidgen of baking soda helps the beans soften so they end up almost fudgy. Blending some of the beans with their liquid gives the soup body; for a very smooth soup, purée the whole mixture. A little vinegar and a flourish of toppings keep it from being one-note. Leftovers will thicken overnight, so thin as needed with water or turn them into refried beans.

Steps:
- In a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the beans, onion, garlic, chipotle chile and sauce, cumin, bay leaves and/or oregano, and baking soda, if using. Add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender, 8 to 10 hours. Taste more than one bean to ensure they're all cooked through; they should also flatten without much effort when pressed between your fingers.
- Remove and compost the bay leaves. Transfer the onion, garlic and chipotle chile to a blender or food processor, along with about 2 cups of the beans and broth. (You can purée more or less of the soup, depending on desired consistency.) Blend until smooth. Pour puréed soup back into the slow cooker, stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt. Eat with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Soak the Black Beans: Soaking the black beans overnight or for a minimum of 8 hours helps soften them and reduces cooking time. If you forget to soak them, you can use the quick-soak method: bring the beans to a boil in a pot, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for an hour before draining and rinsing them.
- Use a Variety of Peppers: This recipe calls for a combination of poblano and jalapeño peppers. Poblano peppers are mild to medium in heat, while jalapeños are spicier. You can adjust the heat level by using more or less of each type of pepper, or by removing the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before chopping them.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their flavor. Add them to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to ensure they retain their texture and nutrients.
- Season to Taste: Every palate is different, so taste the soup and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more chili powder, cumin, or salt and pepper to suit your preference.
- Serve with Toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado to add extra flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This spicy slow-cooker black bean soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The combination of black beans, vegetables, and spices creates a rich and satisfying soup that's sure to warm you up on a cold day. Serve it with your favorite toppings for a complete and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
