    Hearty Corn and Black Bean Soup!

    Originally published February 26, 2013. Updated on 3/18/2021

    A large bowl of a colourful corn and black bean soup.  Corn and red peppers are visible throughout the soup, and there is grated cheddar cheese, soup cream, cilantro, and green onion slices on top.

    As the weather gets colder, this Hearty Corn and Black Bean Soup is a great addition to the menu. Flavour, texture, colours.. and fibre!

    When the weather starts to turn, and the first few cold nights appear... this is a great way to welcome fall.

    And now, as spring is on its way ... there is still time to take advantage of "soup season"!

    This recipe - from my sweet corn cookbook - won't disappoint

    Thick, warm, rich, and satisfying!

    If you would like to omit the beer, feel free to substitute with more chicken stock

    Also: this soup freezes and reheats well.
