Unlike a traditional Indian Curry, this is not at all spicy. Rather its creamy, sweet and smooth. 😋😋😋

The creamy texture of blended spinach will remind you of my Creamy Spinach Soup and along with the chunky Black Bean and Veggies will remind you of my Black Bean Enchilada Soup.

👩‍🍳 How to make Healthy Black Bean and Spinach Soup

STEP 1: DUMP IN THE CROCK POT AND FORGET

• Dump all the ingredients (except the garnishes) in the Crock Pot.
• Toss to combine everything
• Cover with the lid and slow cook on Low for 4 hours or on High for 2 Hours

STEP 2: BLEND THE SOUP

• Blend the soup in the crock pot using an immersion blender
• Blend until smooth.

STEP 3: GARNISH & SERVE

• Garnish with grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese, freshly chopped Parsley and finely chopped Green Onions.
• Serve immediately

Remember that for best texture, you need to blend the soup until creamy. I love to keep some of the Black Beans chunky for a nice nutty taste and texture.

If you're using a traditional Blender, then take out about 2 cups of the soup from the Crock Pot at a time, cool it down to room temperature and then blend until smooth in a traditional blender.

💡 Hint - Remember to cool down the soup completely before you blend it to avoid bursting of soup.
