• Medium Soup Pot

*The liquid within the canned beans (aquafaba) helps to create a brilliant thick and hearty soup. Go for low-sodium black beans in case you’re watching your salt consumption. I haven’t tried dried beans, however if you wish to you’ll be able to attempt utilizing 4.5 cups of soaked and cooked dried black beans in place. Mix 3 cups (which is roughly equal to 2 15 oz. cans, minus the liquid) of the prepped black beans with 1 cup of water. Add extra water as wanted to skinny out the puree if it’s too thick, then proceed with the recipe as directed, including the remaining 1.5 cups of prepped dried black beans to the pot with one other cup of water. 
**For a gentle soup, skip the jalapeño and use smoked paprika. For a spicy soup, add the jalapeño and use chipotle powder rather than, or as well as to, smoked paprika.
