Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 seeded and diced jalapeño
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 4 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped for garnish cilantro
• 1 sliced, optional for topping avocado
• 1 cup, optional for topping tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.

Step 4

Add the black beans, vegetable broth, and crushed tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, puree half of the soup directly in the pot for a thicker consistency while leaving some texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, puree it, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Optionally, top with sliced avocado and crushed tortilla chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Spicy Black Bean Soup!
