Instructions
Rinse the black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans under cold water. If using dried beans, soak them overnight and drain before using, or use canned beans that have been drained and rinsed.
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, carrot, and celery, and mincing the garlic.
In your crock pot, add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), green chiles, diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic.
Add the black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans to the crock pot.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to combine.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally if desired.
Once cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
