Notes
For a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the beans before adding them to the soup. If you prefer a spicy kick, consider adding a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper. This soup can be easily customized with different beans or added vegetables, like bell peppers or zucchini. It also freezes well, making it a great option for meal prepping.
