A hearty, healthy slow cooker black bean soup that’s packed with vegetables, and only takes a few minutes to prepare!

If you want a hearty, healthy dinner, but you don’t want to actually have to spend more than 5 minutes making it (I feel you), this slow cooker black bean soup is the answer to your prayers. It’s packed with veggies, and practically cooks itself. Just chuck everything in the slow cooker, and a few hours later, it’s ready to eat. Hallelujah!


Slow cooker black bean soup

Black bean soup is one of my favourite soups of all time, and this slow cooker version checks every single box.


  • It’s full of healthy, whole ingredients like fresh vegetables and beans.
  • It’s completely delicious, with heaps of flavour.
  • It can easily be adapted to use up whatever veg you have lingering in the fridge.
  • It’s very low effort, and cooks itself in the slow cooker.
  • It reheats beautifully, if you have any leftovers.
  • It can be personalised with your own choice of toppings.


I’ve never had a more perfect soup.
