Can you make this soup with dried black beans? I assume the slow cooker recipe would require soaked dried beans?

I made it exactly as you instructed and it was wonderful! We enjoyed the thickness, but I did put the lid on the last 10 minutes. Flavor was spot on! I made half a recipe for my husband and myself, but I wish I had made more so we could have leftovers another day. Thanks!

Delicious! Made it exactly as written. The avocado is a nice addition.

In reply to Lauren S. Hi Lauren, I cook the soup uncovered. I like a thicker soup, so if you want it thinner, you can add more broth.

Love your recipes! I didn’t see this yet in comments, but do you cover or uncover the soup for the 30 min simmer? I’m trying uncovered and the liquid has reduced by about half. Thank you!
