Slow Cooker Pork and Black Bean Soup

This is my new favorite soup because, It's made in the crockpot! And of course the other reason is I usually have all the ingredients on hand. The best part of this is this is  SO DELICIOUS !!!!

If you don't have any dried beans, use three cans of black beans (rinsed and drained).  If you use cans of beans, you might want to use less chicken broth if you want a thicker soup.

Instead of using pork shoulder, I used a few pork chops since that's what I had on hand.  It shredded nicely and worked perfectly.

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. In a slow cooker, whisk together the chicken broth, chipotles and adobo sauce, and cumin; stir in the beans, onion and garlic.
2. Add the pork and cook, covered, until beans are tender and pork easily pulls apart, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours.
