Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 large tomato (diced)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- 2 cups tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomato, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the spices are well incorporated.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the cooked black beans to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some whole beans for texture. (Alternatively, transfer about half of the soup to a blender, puree it, and return it to the pot.)
Stir in the chopped cilantro and reduce the heat to low.
Carefully crack the eggs into the soup, one at a time, spacing them apart. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are poached to your preferred level of doneness.
Ladle the soup into individual bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a poached egg.
Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side, if desired.
