Useful tips for Black Bean Soup
Go easy on the onion and garlic if you’re using them raw: the flavor can be overwhelming if you add too much.
Save your chickpea water (aquafaba) for future vegan recipes!
This one is great, especially as a start-to-finish-in-the-blender alternative to this Cuban Bean and Potato Soup
