Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
• 1 sliced (optional, for serving) avocado

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, and dried oregano, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the drained and rinsed black beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup in the pot, leaving some beans whole for texture. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and/or sliced avocado if desired.
