Notes
Black Beans: I use Eden Organic Black Beans because they come in a BPA-free can. In addition, I add the entire can, without draining and rinsing the beans.Water: I exclusively use and recommend filtered/purified water which I make with a Berkey water filter, instead of using tap water, which can contain numerous impurities.Onion: You can use your favorite variety of onion, however, I do not recommend using a sweet onion since this is a savory recipe.Garlic: Fresh garlic will give the best flavor and nutrients, but you could also substitute with organic ground garlic.Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice will give the best flavor and nutrients since it hasn't been pasteurized, but you could also use store-bought organic lemon juice.Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with seas salt.Warming: You can enjoy the soup at room temperature or lightly warm it with your Vitamix on the "SOUP" setting or transfer the soup to a medium-size saucepan and warm on low/medium heat.Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (4) cups of soup. Nutritional information is for (1) cup which is (1) serving.
