I have a hectic job that doesn't often allow me a lunch break so Dr. McDougall's products work out great for me. I follow a high protein diet and this Black Bean soup is loaded with both fiber and protein without sacrificing taste. Just add boiling or very hot water and you can easily eat it at your desk as it takes up about as much space as a large coffee mug. Many reviewers find the sodium content high and, as with most soups, it is. A good workaround to resolve this is to pour in about half of the flavor packet. There is minimal flavor change and a decrease (even though it may be slight) in sodium. I heartily recommend this soup for not only those on the go, but also for those who enjoy great soups.

Tasty, fiber-rich and low fat, this instant lunch is also very filling. The only thing holding me back from a perfect "5" rating is the relatively high sodium content, 660 mg. per package. However,considering the 28 grams of fiber (112% of the daily requirement), I guess the trade-off is worth it. Probably wouldn't taste as good without the salt anyway!

I am a retired chef. I walk & hike and it is getting cooler out so on my long trail days this is a great soup to carry along for a meal...just add boiling water...
It's a keeper in my cupboards.

I use the Black bean & lime soup for a quick meal at home for the family. I'll have some plain black beans with onion cooking in a crock pot and before the meal I'll pour one container of the Black bean soup/with seasoning into the crockpot to cook for 10 or 15 minutes.. Have it with rice and/or tortillas,avocado, and fresh tomato salsa(pulse some tomatoes, cilantro, sweet onion, cayenne, a little lime juice-whatever you like- in a blender)- a tasty,economical and very quick meal that serves 2 to 4.

I love this soup! Other than the sodium content, which I agree is a bit high, this is a great, healthy, filling, convenient lunch. Just takes some good hot water and a little wrist action to mix it up well. I love that one container has 28 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein and only 2 sugars! I love that it's vegan, and that it has %14 of the daily requirement for iron. Great little tasty lunch!

I've had several of Dr. McDougall's soup cups and liked them all. The taste on this was really good, but I was highly disappointed that there were two servings in this one cup.

Good values: no fat, high fiber, high protein, NO CHEMICAL ADDITIVES!
For my diet this is a great lunch at a very reasonable price. I like the taste too. I am not vegan or even vegetarian, but limit my intake of animal products where possible. All-in-all a very good deal. I followed my initial purchase of one box with a second purchase of three more. I keep a supply on hand now.

This is one of my favorite flavors of Dr. McDougall's brand of soups and mixes. The texture is pleasing to me along with the spices. Yes, it's a dried soup mix so you can get clumps sometimes, but nothing a good stir with a spoon can't fix. Plus, the larger size soup cup means I can eat this with a little something extra to make a nice lunch. Oh, and if you are looking for a hearty lunch, try pouring this over rice or some other starch.

I'm thrilled to see this offered through Amazon. Check out the split pea cup, too, that's my other favorite.

Also, compared to the "Fantastic Food" brand soup , I've always found the Dr.McDougall soups to be thicker, have more spices, and be more filling. This is the perfect vegan cup of soup when you don't have time to bring/make your own. If you intend to make your own, check out Dr. McDougall's Quick and Easy cookbook.

We tried this first with none at all of the so-called flavor packet, and then added a little tiny bit of the packet. Adding just a tiny bit of the packet was plenty. If one were to add the entire flavor packet it would be too salty. There is a lot of salt in this, but thankfully one can avoid that by not using the full flavor packet. We added a little less water than suggested, and still found it to be more watery than we liked. The easy solution, of course, is to add even less water. On the whole, if one does not use the flavor packet it is pretty decent. I have recently had the very expensive per oz shredded black beans from Barry Farms which I prefer to this - those are just pure black beans. The prize per oz for the Barry Farms item is very steep, however.

This is the best instant soup ever!! I have even let my meat eating friends try this soup, and they all think it is fantastic. The soup has lots of flavor and lots of fiber. Wonderful for a quick, filling lunch.
