Crock-Pot Black Bean and Butternut Squash Chili

I knew I wanted to make something with black beans this week.  I have been trying to do at least two or three vegetarian dinners a week.  So after searching the internet for a black bean soup recipe which just seemed like too much work-blending the soup after you cook it and all, I stumbled across a recipe for Black Bean and Butternut Squash Chili from All You Magazine (which is now defunct) and was inspired. 

I had to tweak the recipe a little bit based on ingredients I had in my kitchen but I was very happy with the results.

This soup is definitely hearty and spicy. If you don’t like spice you could probably omit some of the cumin and Adobo seasoning.
