Servings 8
Ingredients
- 4 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 small carrots, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 2 small jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
- ½ medium red onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or large pot to medium, then add in the olive oil, carrots, celery, red onion, jalapeño pepper, red bell pepper, half the salt and pepper.
- Sauté for a few minutes, just to slightly soften them, then add in the garlic and continue sautéing for another 20 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
- Add in the smoked paprika and ground cumin and allow them to toast for about 30 seconds while stirring.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, remaining salt and pepper, black beans, then simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes or until the carrots and celery are tender.
- Remove some of the beans and soup and puree using an immersion blender, then pour back into the soup. You can also do this right in the pot instead, if you’d like.
- Taste the soup to see if it needs more salt, and add some in if it does. Then add in the lime juice and chopped cilantro and serve.
