Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup is loaded with flavor, has the perfect amount of spice, and  is packed with nutrients. So much better than Panera’s black bean soup! This vegan recipe is so easy to put together! Just toss the ingredients into your crock-pot and let it do the work. Because it uses canned beans, it can also be made quickly on your stovetop. Either way, it’s an excellent choice for Meatless Monday or any busy weeknight.
