Crockpot Black Bean Soup

Today's crock recipe is for black bean soup.

Black Bean Soup

1 bag dried black beans
Water to cover beans
2 jars salsa
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatos
2 onions chopped
Garlic powder
Onion powder
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, chopped

Put beans in the crockpot and cover generously with water. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Set the crockpot on high to cook in about 12-15 hours or low to cook in 20-24 hours. Stir occassionally and add more spices as needed.

I am sure you could add a green pepper, or other vegetables if you feel like it.

Also if you wanted you could soak the beans overnight first and then it would take much less time to cook, I just like the consistency of the soup when it is done with dry beans.

I use the leftovers in bean burritos.
