Ingredients

• 15 oz canned black soybeans (drained and rinsed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1.5 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarians)
• 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 large avocado (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the drained black soybeans, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly reduced and the flavors are well combined.

Step 8

Serve warm topped with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado, if desired. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly side for a complete meal.
