There is nothing more delicious than a hot bowl of black bean soup. It's my go to comfort food for the winter. Daily Buzz Moms have invited me to share the recipe with you and with their fabulous readers! I've adapted the recipe my grandmother had (which took about 2 days to prepare)  to a quick 20 minutes.
