📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add the roasted and chopped green chile peppers, ground cumin, ground coriander, and smoked paprika. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to toast the spices.

5. Add the cannellini beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially to achieve a creamy texture while leaving some beans and peppers whole. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.

7. Stir in the coconut milk, fresh cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or lime juice.

9. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with tortilla chips or crusty bread if desired.
