Ingredients

• 250 grams Chorizo sausage
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 cups Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 small Avocado, diced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and crumble the chorizo into the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the cooked chorizo with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the same pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the black beans, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot to create a slightly thickened texture. Alternatively, transfer 1-2 cups of the soup to a blender, puree, and return it to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the cooked chorizo to the pot and stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and crack the eggs one at a time directly into the soup, spacing them apart so they stay intact. Cover the pot and let the eggs poach gently in the soup for 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny.

Step 7

Carefully ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving includes an egg. Garnish with diced avocado and additional cilantro if desired. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
