Mexican Veggie Soup

Friday, March 17, 2023

I love soup on cold March nights. This one is another cozy one to throw in the crockpot and let simmer away all day. It does take a little longer than most of my recipes to prep, but its totally worth it! 

Freezer Meal Prep Time: 7 Minutes & 50 Seconds
Serves 4: 227 calories, 42g carbs, 5g fat, 9g protein


  • ​1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • ​2 bell peppers, diced
  • ​1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • ​3 cloves or 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • ​1 tbsp ground cumin
  • ​1 tbsp dried oregano
  • ​¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ​Salt & black pepper to taste

  • ​2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

SLOW COOKER: Cook on low for 4-6 hours if defrosted, or on high for 6-8 hours if frozen.
