Black Bean Soup Mix

Delicious, rich, thick soup seasoned just right when you're using Black Bean Soup Mix from Thompson Farms. Locally made.

Recipe:

1 package Black Bean Soup Mix
9 cups water
¾ lb. round steak, cut into small bite sized pieces (more meat may be used, if desired)
1-2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
3 beef bouillon cubes

Rinse beans. Soak in container with enough water to cover by 4 inches overnight. Drain beans. Brown round steak in oil. Add beans, spice packet, water, and bouillon cubes to pot. Bring to a boil, cover pan, reduce heat and simmer 1 ½ hours or until beans are tender. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Add additional water if soup becomes too thick. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and crusty Italian bread. Approximately 6-8 servings (A special thanks to Dan for allowing us to adapt his recipe for the soup)
