Zesty Black Bean Soup ~ 31 Days of Chili, Soups & Stews

Here is an oldie, but goodie.

A few years back, I fell in love with the black bean soup from Panera. We’d eaten there a few times with family over the holidays and I kept getting the black bean soup with a side salad. I loved the consistency, the warmth, but it lacked ZEST.

I *big puffy heart* Panera.  I do.

But I prefer a little zest in my black bean soup!

AND…it’s WAY cheaper to make a big pot and dine/snack on it throughout the week!
