This classic black bean soup recipe is easy to cook in the slow cooker. The black beans are soaked overnight, so plan to begin the night before you plan to cook.

Garnish the soup with chopped hard-cooked eggs and lemon slices, or simply spoon a dollop of sour cream on the soup and sprinkle with parsley.
