Tell me it's not just me. I have this belief that during the colder months of the year whenever I feel myself getting a cold or I've already unfortunately got a cold, that a hot spicy soup does wonders to kick that cold's butt. Like the kind of spicy that makes you sweat spicy. There has to be something to my theory because I am telling you that it really works for me.
This awesome slow cooker spicy Caribbean black bean soup strikes me as the kind of soup that could show a cold who's boss. Of course you don't have to be feeling under the weather to eat it, but it's nice to have it in your soup arsenal this cold season. If you can't handle the heat you can always turn it down a notch by adjusting how much jalapeño you use.
