Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the cooked black beans, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
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.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and tortilla chips if desired.
