Ingredient Notes and Simple Substitutions

The cayenne pepper is your spice control. Add more for extra heat, or less if you prefer a milder soup.

Don’t have yellow onions? A white or red onion will work just fine.

No fresh garlic? Garlic powder is a decent swap. Use about 1/2 teaspoon.

For the black beans, make sure they are well rinsed and drained. This removes excess sodium.

Vegetable broth keeps it vegan. Any good quality broth works.
