Mrs. Criddles says, "This soup is anything but bland and boring! It is so versatile! Not only is it hearty during this cold winter season but it’s very healthy, full of protein, super fast to cook compared to other legumes, it’s budget friendly (I’m talking less than a dollar for a 1 lb bag) and great forfamilies of any size."

This isn’t just good as a salad dressing or a veggie dip. Make some black beans in the Instant Pot and add some ranch seasoning to them. They’re great just like that or in a burrito, on some chicken breast, or mixed with rice.
