Ingredients
- black bean
- olive oil
- onion
- garlic
- bell pepper
- carrot
- cumin
- paprika
- salt and black pepper
- vegetable broth
- cilantro
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.
- Stir in diced carrot, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
- Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the pot. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to become tender. Stir occasionally.
- For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks of beans and vegetables for texture. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the hot black bean soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with freshly chopped cilantro. If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a few slices of avocado. Serve hot with crusty bread or tortilla chips for a satisfying meal.
