Slow Cooker Mexican Black Bean Soup Recipe
If you enjoy making slow cooker chili recipes, you will adore this mouthwatering combination of pork, beans, corn, chilies and more. This is a slow cooked soup so it will come out flavorful and delicious. The pork literally falls off the bone when it is done and the shredded, succulent meat goes back into the soup minus the bones. If you fancy something hearty and rich, this could be the perfect dish for you because it ticks all the boxes and has a marvelous consistency and taste.
Pork is perhaps not the most widely used meat in authentic Mexican recipes, although it can be used to make tacos, stews, and similar dishes. Slow cooked pork is wonderful and it goes perfectly with the other ingredients in this tasty Mexican soup recipe. The bacon is added to give saltiness to the dish and to flavor it and enhance the meaty flavor, but it is discarded before you serve the soup because the slow cooking makes it tough rather than tender.
Chipotle chilies give slow cooker chili recipes an instantly recognizable Mexican flavor and the adobo sauce is great to add also. The corn is optional but it does add color. This is an economical recipe to make, like many other slow cooker chili recipes, but it is an impressive dish and if you want something warming, you will certainly enjoy this dish. Also, another benefit of crockpot soup recipes is that you can leave them alone all day to cook and come home to a flavorful meal, which is all ready to eat.
