Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans and corn. Add both to the pot.
Finely dice the jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat, if desired) and stir it into the soup.
Simmer the soup for 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Roughly chop the cilantro and stir it into the soup along with the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
