Roasted Red Pepper, Corn and Black Bean Soup

Adapted from 1001 Best Slow Cooker Recipes by Sue Spitler

I love a good Black Bean Soup. It’s a delicious, inexpensive and filling meal. The roasted red peppers and corn add color and flavor to this recipe. You can either put the rice in for the last two hours of cooking or serve the soup over a bed of rice.
