Black bean soup can be a bit bitter sometimes. Does anyone have any tricks to make it taste smoother?

Totally! To cut the bitterness, try adding a splash of lime juice or a pinch of sugar—it really balances things out! You can also toss in some caramelized onions or roasted veggies for a little sweetness.

One trick I always use to make black bean soup smoother is adding a bit of acidity. A squeeze of lime juice or a splash of vinegar can really help balance out the bitterness. You can also sauté some onions, garlic, and even a bit of carrot to add a natural sweetness to the base of the soup. A touch of honey or brown sugar works wonders too, but don’t overdo it—just a little to counter the bitterness. Lastly, make sure you season well with salt, as it can help enhance the overall flavor.
