A creamy, cozy black bean soup made in the slow cooker with just a few pantry ingredients. Blend it smooth or leave it chunky, either way it's an easy, freezer-friendly family dinner.
0 Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté onions for 4 minutes.
1 Add chopped garlic and sauté an additional minute.
2 Place the onion garlic mixture into the crock pot along with the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
3 Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
4 Using either a hand blender or traditional blender, puree the ingredients to your desired texture (I like to get it so a few pieces of beans are still visible so the soup is thick and still has a bit of texture).
5 Top with a dollop of yogurt, sour cream, crème fraiche and/or cilantro.
