Nile Spice Soup, Black Bean, 1.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)

I love instant cup style soups for the convince they offer. I hate the salt, fat, and long list of artificial flavors. Nile Spice Soups offer a great alternative with all the convince. This is a filling quick lunch or snack. It has only 170 calories and 1.5g of fat. While it is a bit high on the sodium (640mg) it is much lower than a popular brand of ramen soup (1170mg). The taste is great and it is filling. It is a great source of fiber (12g or 47% of daily values) and is also high in protein (12g). This is a great tasty quick lunch that also packs in great nutritional values.

I buy these by the case, take them out of the paper cups, put them into a jar, add my own spices and they are ready to use whenever I need them. All I need is a cup and some hot water to have a great quick lunch that tastes good. Unlike other reviewers who complain about their lack of spice I am happy with that as I find I can tailor them to fit my own taste without much effort. They are a great additive to different soups, sauces and other dishes that call for black beans. I appreciate the opportunity to buy them via the Subscribe and Save program at Amazon, since the price is lower. I wish that the product was sold in a bulk pack like Bear Lake soups make so that I didn' as I do now.t have to deal with little cups

I have enjoyed this soup for years, and have purchased several 12-packs through Amazon. When I started eating the first carton from my latest purchase, I knew immediately something had changed, and not for the better. The texture was all wrong and the soup tasted too sweet. I checked the label and was disgusted to learn that the soup now contains 9 grams of sugar (versus 3), and only 8 grams of protein, compared to 12 previously. In addition, the fat content is 1/3 higher and there are 10 additional calories. I pitched the 11 remaining cartons of soup, and I will never purchase a Nile Spice product again. I notice that the current product Amazon is listing shows the OLD nutrition information. Something tells me this is so much baloney.

I love the pea soup, it's delicious. This is something I won't eat unless I absolutely have to. It has a black brant taste for an instant before fading to a cardboard flavor. 2/5 buying more split pea next time.

I find these very convenient for work. Storage is a breeze, it takes only boiling hot water and a few minutes to make one, and I like the flavor. Great for when I don't have a lot of time, or just can't bring myself to spend 4x as much at the building cafeteria for something mediocre. Sometimes I toss in a pinch of spices or a little salt to vary it a bit. Low in fat, high in protein.

This soup is okay. I expected more from reading reviews prior to me purchasing. Has a good amount of spice but I was expecting more whole black beans instead of black bean pieces. I followed the directions correctly and still find that the soup doesnt mix/settle well.

It's not over-the-top spicy but it does have a lot of flavor and everyone is right when they say to leave it standing for ten minutes instead of the recommended five. The consistency is more like puree of bean soup, but I like it. I ordered this and the Lentil soup and I'll order them both again. Twelve grams of protein, twelve grams of fiber, it's cubicle stable and all you need to make it gourmet are the pizza box parmesan cheese packets left in the break room. And the price? Done and done!

I've loved Nile Spice soups for many years, and the Black Bean is my all-time favorite. Super-handy as long as you have access to boiling water - just add, stir and wait a few minutes. Quick, hot and satisfying. Natural enough that they are carried at my local health/organic food co-op. This is a great price for a dozen.
