Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried red beans
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 Celery stalk, diced
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 cup Tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried red beans thoroughly under cold water and soak them in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

Step 6

Add the soaked red beans to the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 40-50 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

While the soup is simmering, prepare the guacamole salsa. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the red bean soup is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous spoonful of guacamole salsa.

Step 10

Serve with tortilla chips on the side for added crunch.
