I'd call it 6 servings, as long as it's not the only thing being served. For 9 – 10, I'd probably double the beans, carrots, and increase the onion and garlic by 1.5x (2 onions, 3 garlic cloves). I'd also consider using 4 cans (15oz) instead, which will significantly decrease your cooking time. It's been a while since I've tested this recipe on the stove (I've made it in the crock pot several times since) that now I'm second guessing that cook time.

What is the serving size for this recipe? I've looked up and down and allllllllll through the recipe, but I can't seem to find a serving size. I'm hoping to make this for 9-10 people sometime this week, so having a rough idea of how many times I need to increase the portions of each ingredient would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

Actually, I have a version of that here on this site, including a link to homemade Ranch Seasoning. Here's the link: http://www.home-ec101.com/soups-on-taco-soup/

Made this for the first time tonight. It was great! Super easy and inexpensive. I added chicken and a tad of red pepper to kick it up a notch. Yumm

The carrot is different. We love black beans. Black bean salsa in the summer, soup in the winter!

How should you cook this if you use canned black beans to speed everything up?

I have another recipe for black bean soup that we’re quite fond of- it uses cumin- but this one has carrot which is interesting. And the vegetable base is different too…

It’s somewhat like a bouillon cube. If you look in your grocer near the soups, you should be able to find something called Better Than Bouillon, it comes in a bunch of flavors with no MSG and it’s lower in sodium. However, if you can’t find it and aren’t vegetarian chicken bouillon or chicken broth in place of the water will work just fine.

I think I may have missed it, but would you repeat what is in the vegatable base. Thanks!

Being married to a man who spent all his growing up years in Brasil, I have incorporated this South American favorite into our diet in dozens of ways. I had never eaten a black bean until I met him, and until the late 80′s we had to have them brought in from Mexico. Now that they are ubiquitous in the U.S., we don’t have to ration them anymore and we enjoy them in everything imaginable. Well, okay, I haven’t figured out how to get them in a dessert yet, but I just might one of these days!
