Black Bean Soup

I try to make one meatless dish a week- which is hard, 'cause most the time jason doesn't consider it a meal unless it has meat! but i made THIS (click the link) black bean soup today, and it's really good. THIS blog, $5 dinners is AWESOME! sometimes it's a little hard to match it all up, but her recipe index is GREAT. and an added bonus for me- her sons can't have dairy either, so in recipes, she substitutes rice milk (that she makes herself, i have not yet tried that, but am going to, just a little frightened!) that way i know ahead of time that it is ok to substitute it.

with the bean soup, i just used canned beans, corn, rotel, boxed chicken broth and threw it all in my crockpot on VERY LOW and let it simmer all afternoon. put some cheese and little sour cream in your bowl, and it is great! oh, and i used an immersable blender so i didn't have to mash all the beans, it really helped.

another cooking blog i like- Our Best Bites and can't wait to do these stuffed zucchini in the near future!!
