Low Carb Black Beanless Soup. Finding myself a bit under the weather and not wanting to come up with a dinner, I decided to try to come up with a new soup. Whoever knows what appeals to someone who is miserable but black bean soup came to mind and the idea of my having black beans, or any other beans for that matter was a joke but I wanted something with a strong cuminy flavor. I already had all the common vegetables in the fridge so…I got them out and started this so easy low carb black beanless soup recipe. If I had half a brain the day I did this I would have put some shredded pork into it but since the brain had gone missing, I missed my opportunity. It is however something I would highly recommend and will not add any carbs. Not many calories but the flavor is…terrific.
This is going to make a pot-load of soup so either make ½ the recipe or make it for a large crowd. Remember, I made this because I was sick and going to eat it for more than several days and…I only made a ½ recipe.
