Mason Jar Meals: Spicy Black Bean Soup

Prep Time	Cook Time	Servings
0 min	90 min	​4-6

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup black beans

• 1 Tbsp dried chopped onions

• 1 Tbsp dried garlic powder

• 2 Tbsp cumin

• 1 Tsp celery seed

• 1 bay leaf

• 1 Tsp chilli powder

• 1 veggie bouillon cube

• 1 small dried chilli pepper

Instructions

1. Unwrap the veggie bouillon cube. Add all ingredients except the chile pepper into a large saucepan with 6 cups of water.

2. To adjust the spice level: omit the chilli pepper for mild spice, and add part or all of the pepper to increase the spice.

3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and leave to simmer until beans are tender and soup is thick. This should take about 90 minutes – add more water if necessary to soften the beans.

4. Remove and discard the chilli pepper and bay leaf before serving. Enjoy!
