    How can this be made from a pound of dry beans. We never buy canned, and do not mind soaking and boiling…. But, we do not measure by the can.

    I am trying the soup but it could use more black beans! Also I enjoy your emails but find the information to be overwhelming. Could you have a theme to each email? Include a recipe, a lust of things to print out and a link to the website based on what you are discussing? I am eager to participate but find the email newsletters to be too much.

    I would think in detoxing, you should elimate mushrooms since they are a fungus. I’m going to make mine minus the mushroom. I’m sure it will be just as great.

    Mara, I also prefer to use dry beans soaked overnight in filtered water with either 1 Tb. plain Greek yogurt or 1 Tb. Lemon juice. Easier to digest and you don’t have to worry about BPA lined cans. Cheaper too! It’s in the Maker’s Diet book by Jordan Rubin and in Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. :-) I like this recipe though. I use 2 cups dried beans. Soaked overnight and then rinsed.

    My church, All Saints Episcopal Church, Enterprise, FL will be having soup suppers during Lent. Would appreciate new soup recipes. Thank you with Blessings

      I was under the impression that legumes are high in lectins which are hard to digest and can irritate the digestive tract. Paleo eating plans exclude them for this reason. How does one choose from such diametrically opposed eating plans?

    I am a diabetic and have to count carbs and watch my portions to keep my blood sugar nos. in check. That would be a big plus to give us the carb count, because the recipes look delicious. Thanks!

    The photo looks likes there are peppers in the Black Bean Soup.
    I do not see peppers in the recipe ingredients.
    If there are peppers … How many?

      You can add peppers or leave them out, both ways turn out great! I sometimes like to mix the recipes up and add more vegetables. If you would like to add peppers, I used 1 medium pepper cut into thin slices. Enjoy!
