Black Bean and Corn Soup for the Crock Pot

I like beans. Ron, however does not. Too bad for him!

Add meat to this if you want. Like smoked turkey, leftover turkey, chicken, ham, beef, any meat you like. Leftovers are great for this. Add what ever you want of pre-cooked meat.

This is so quick and easy. You can dump it all in the crock pot, stir and leave it to cook all day.

2 (14.5 oz) Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) Can Whole Kernel Corn (not drained)
1 (14.5 oz) Can Mexican Style Diced Tomatoes (not drained)
1 (14.5 oz) Chicken Broth
1 Bag Spice Mixture

Spice Bag: (make up ahead to have on hand)

1 T Ground Cumin
1 T Dried Chopped Onion
1 tsp Dried Minced Garlic
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper

Combine spice ingredients in a small bowl and put in a small zip top bag. Label it and keep it on hand with the canned goods. When you have some leftover meat throw it all in the crock pot.

Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. (More or less.) Serve with cornbread, tortilla chips, warm buttered tortillas... whatever you like.

I made this one Sunday. We left for some reason and didn't get back for supper. So I put it in single serve containers. 3 went in the freezer and 2 in the refrigerator to take to work. Perfect!

See what you think.
