Black Bean & Vegetable Soup.
Serves 8
This healthful and hearty soup makes a wonderful lunch or dinner to fill you up and warm you up from the inside out on a chilly winter day. It's a perennial favorite of my family, and I bet it will be for yours too!
The only real effort is in prepping the veggies, after that, it's mainly just toss in a pot and cook till yummy!
