The night before you are making the soup, fill a large bowl with water and empty the package of beans into the water. Then let the beans sit overnight in the refrigerator.
To prepare the soup, chop the onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper and jalapeno. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Place all the veggies in the slow cooker. Measure and add all the spices.
Drain and rinse the black beans and add to the slow cooker.
Add the vegetable stock and then add up to 2 cups of water if needed.
