What to do with black bean soup
The black bean soup in your bag is fully prepared — it just needs warming. But it's also a head start on several different meals: heat it as-is, or use it as a base you can stretch into a bowl, a topping, or a sauce.
Hearty, savory, and a little smoky, with creamy beans.
Black beans are rich in fiber and plant protein, the combination that helps keep blood sugar steady and you full for longer — a comforting, blood-sugar-aware meal in a bowl.
3 ways to use it
- 01Heat and eat (easiest)
Warm gently on the stove over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring once or twice, until hot all the way through.
- 02Build a bowl
Ladle it over cooked rice or a roasted sweet potato and add a spoon of yogurt and a squeeze of lime for a full, filling meal.
- 03Make it a topping
Spoon the thicker beans over a salad of greens, or onto whole-grain toast, for a quick protein-rich lunch.
Keep it fresh
- →Keep refrigerated and use within the date on the container.
- →Warm only what you'll eat; reheating the whole batch over and over shortens its life.
- →It freezes well — portion extras into containers for an easy future meal.
