Black Bean and Brisket Soup makes a comforting soup recipe. Full of tender smoked brisket, and black beans, this soup is sure to be a favorite. 

Smoked beef brisket takes black bean soup to an entirely new level of hearty, comforting, and delicious. Yes, smoking a beef brisket takes time, but when you take that first flavorful bite, you’ll know it was worth it.

Here’s how I make it.

  1. Holy cow, Robyn! (pun intended) My neighbor has a smoker. Might have to go over there and borrow it to make this. Perfect autumn dinner.

  2. This recipe is so right up my alley. Cuban-style black bean soup and Southern-style smoked beef brisket are local favorites where I live, and the idea of putting them together is brilliant. Fall is soup season for me, and I’m definitely bookmarking this to make soonest. Well done, Robyn!

  3. Someday . . . someday Robyn, The Professor and I will move near you and Amy, we’ll live in a Yankee Barn home on some acreage that we farm and you will make this for us – oh what a happy day that will be! Am marking this now because I AM making it sometime this winter!

  4. Our family loves to make smoked brisket… I’ve made it in the oven and my husband smokes it on the grill. I have never thought to turn it into soup! Love this recipe… especially as the wind is whipping outside and getting cooler. I’m anxious to try this. Have a great day!

    1. I’m assuming you have to add stock to make this a soup. I don’t see any liquid in recipe. It would seem more like a stew the way the recipe is written

    2. Jay J, the one can of pureed beans plus the juice in the undrained cans of beans provide the liquid needed for this soup. I hope you enjoy!
