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.

Why it's in your bag

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

  1. 01
    Heat 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.

  2. 02
    Build 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.

  3. 03
    Make 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.
