Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried black beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 2 pieces celery stalk, diced
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 piece chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and sort the dried black beans to remove any debris or damaged beans.
Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse before cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the minced chipotle pepper and add the soaked and drained black beans to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamier texture. Alternatively, transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender, puree, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and tortilla chips if desired.
