Yes! You can find all of the printable recipes (and many more!) over on my website. Here's a direct link to the soup: detoxinista.com/panera-black-bean-soup/
I had to stop at 2 teaspoons of salt plus, you said, an extra 1/2 tsp at the end. Looking for something flavorful with more flavor than salt. Looks good, though.
Hi Denise! I don't think this soup tastes "salty" but you can certainly use less, if you prefer! (The brand of salt you use can also make a difference, I use Real Salt brand "fine" salt.) This is literally one of the best soups I've ever made, so I hope you'll give it a try.
I just made this soup last night, very hearty, but I didn{t add red pepper flakes, I chopped a jalapeño instead. Also, I didnt use that much cumin, I only added 1/2 tsp. I didnt have smoked paprika, so I added smoked chipotle powder instead. Came out delicious, I will be putting this soup into my rotation for sure!
