Turkey and Black Bean Soup image

This is from my Food and Wine One Dish Meals cookbook. It says to serve this with a red zinfandel because the spiciness and fruit flavor will stand up to the powerful flavors in the soup. This would be a great soup when you are sick of leftover turkey, but still have lots left. I would serve this with corn bread. I'm sure this could be adapted to the crock pot. I bet it would freeze well.
