Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium, diced yellow onion
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 medium, diced carrot
  • 2 medium, diced celery stalks
  • 2 pieces, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cups, cooked or 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained and rinsed black beans
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 0.25 cup, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
  • 0 (optional, for topping) sour cream or vegan alternative
  • 0 (optional, for serving) tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cooked black beans, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency (you can blend it completely smooth or leave it slightly chunky). Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and tortilla chips if desired.
