Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black soybeans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarians)
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 large avocado (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast for about 30 seconds.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the drained black soybeans, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly reduced and the flavors are well combined.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve warm topped with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado, if desired. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly side for a complete meal.
