Years ago, I used to make an easy black bean soup by boiling canned beans, tomatoes, sauteed garlic and onions, and beef broth on the stove. It was sooo good. I don't know why I stopped making it. I also don't know why I never thought to use salsa instead of canned tomatoes! Way more flavor, much less work. Such a duh moment. This version might actually be better, and with only four ingredients and no prep work at all, I'd call it a winner.
Recipe
1- 15 oz bag dry black beans
2 cups prepared salsa
6 cups beef broth
1 T Old Bay seasoning (may substitute chili powder)
Place all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours.
