A splash of sherry enhances this hearty, easy-to-make black bean soup. For a milder flavor, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeno before dicing. —Tia Musser, Hudson, Indiana

Very good and will make again. I did not do the blender part either.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make. I did not use the chillies because we don't like a lot of heat. I did use an 8 oz. can of Rotel tomato and green chili sauce (mild). Just right. I will definitely make it again.

This was a delicious easy to make soup. I added carrots and chicken for a little variety. Very good for a cold night meal with some crunchy bread. Will be making this again.

Very good. I did not use the chilies. I added leftover ham. I also didn't do the blender portion. It was a hit in my house

This was an awesome soup! We added cooked (boiled) shredded chicken and crunched Roasted Garlic and Black Bean Tostito chips on top. Yum!

Killer Meal. You can even do this in a Slow Cooker and the 'left overs' freeze very well. I don't do the blender bit, but do give the 'goodies' a good going over with a Potato Masher.

I give this 4 stars! (for some reason the stars didn't show up on my screen.) This is what I did differently based on what I already had on hand...First, I only used half of the red onion (my husband doesn't like a whole lot of onions in his meals), I used Reduced Sodium cans of beans, I didn't have the extra 4 oz. can of green chilies, and the amount of sherry I used was closer to a half cup because I just poured in the rest of the bottle I had remaining in my pantry, and I used 2 tsp. of dried Cilantro instead of fresh. I then decided to omit the sour cream and cheese as toppings. Everyone seemed happy with Saltine crackers instead. Overall, this was very tasty and maybe next time I might add the extra chilies for more kick!

This recipe is very very good. I made it only three times since I haven't had it so long. Twice I did not use sherry and once I did; I have found the sherry made it milder, so I use that for people who don't like spice as much as I do. I hope you submit recipes again; this is so good! Thank you!

This recipe really hit the spot today as we head into fall. Went well with a whole wheat baguette. Will definitely be making this again!
