This umami-rich soup is hearty and comforting. Porcini mushrooms and soy sauce amplify the meaty flavors in this vegetarian dish, while ensuring the spotlight stays on those tender black beans. Due to the long cooking time there is no need to pre soak the beans. Enjoy your black bean soup topped with sour cream, crushed up tortilla chips, or minced red onion.
