Prairie Rose -- Recipe for your Black Bean Soup?

[foxxyroxie]

I bought a couple of bags of dry black beans at the store (they were 4/$3 --don't know if that was a great deal but they sounded good). Could I have a recipe for black bean soup made in the crockpot? Or if anyone else has a recipe it would be appreciated -- either for soup or other concoction.

Thanks a bunch.

Sure!

Blackbean Soup (my own concoction)

1 bag of brown beans, washed and sorted. Put into crockpot, cover with twice as much water as there are beans (depth wise in the pot). I added a full slice of bacon, a whole onion cut up, some diced green chilis (they were from our garden in the freezer but canned would be fine...I'd use a can). Salt and pepper to taste or best guestimate till you can taste after cooking all night on high. I also added some garlic salt and a little bit of chili powder (just a couple shakes not a lot). I cooked on high all night, tasted and salted some more and added more water as I wanted them to be soupy not just like beans...ya know? Then I cooked them on high all day to make the juice thicker. We ate them at 6. I put them on before bed last nite. Enjoy!

*edited to add* I also put about 1/2 C. brown rice in it this morning. Sorry for the omission.
