This Crockpot Black Bean Soup is a staple in my home, especially during the colder months. It’s hearty, comforting, and so easy to make. I love throwing all the ingredients into the crockpot in the morning and coming home to the delicious aroma of this soup simmering away. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile—you can customize it with your favorite toppings like avocado, cilantro, or a dollop of vegan sour cream. It’s the ultimate comfort food that’s not only good for you but also incredibly delicious!
