Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon spicy red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • Juice from 1 small lime
  • Garnish: sliced peppers, spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped parsley, crumbly microbial-rennet white cheese

Instructions

  1. Step: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium heat. Add the peppers, onion, celery and carrot. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring a bit, or until the vegetables soften up.
  2. Step: Add the garlic, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes and a bit of salt and pepper. Stir and cook 30 seconds, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  3. Step: Add the black beans and vegetable broth and stir. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Step: Optional, for a Creamier Soup: Transfer about half of the soup to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add back to the soup. You can also use an immersion blender for this.
  5. Step: Adjust with salt and pepper. Serve into bowls and swirl in some fresh lime juice. Garnish.

Notes

Heat Factor: Medium. Omit the jalapeno peppers for a milder soup. For a creamier version, blend half the soup. Dried beans can be used if soaked overnight. This can also be made in an Instant Pot (high pressure for 6 minutes) or a slow cooker (low for 2-3 hours).
