Black Beans are the main ingredient in this black bean soup. This superfood has an abundance of nutrients (protein, vitamins, minerals, disease-fighting antioxidants and lots of healthy fiber). They are one of the most commonly consumed beans in the United States and are popular in Latin American countries.

Protein is required by nearly every body function. They are often eaten with a grain that works together to make up a full protein making them a very good source of protein for vegetarians.

Onions are full of protective phytonutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, quercetin (an important flavonoid), chromium, and unique anti-inflammatory nutrients. These add a great taste to this black bean soup.

Celery – is a negative calorie food, meaning it takes the body more calories to digest it than the food itself contains making it a very good food for weight loss.
