Rumors are that Pumpkin Spice Lattes will soon be available. It's August people. We still need to get through the beauty of September before the cool temperatures arrive that beckon PSL season. Well, whatever, all this talk of PSL have us cautiously celebrating the return of soup season. It may still be a little too warm to make a batch of this delicious, smokey black bean soup right this minute. But put it on your radar for the first batch of soup for fall. When you do make it, double the batch. You won't regret it. Thanks goes to Burns and McCoy Smoked Habanero Roasted Garlic sauce for the amazing depth of flavor.
Note: Reduce broth by one cup if you want thicker soup.
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 15 mins (though you can do some of the prep as you cook)
