Ingredients

Servings
  • 5 tomato cut into ½-inch dice or 3 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, with their juice (about 5 cups, medium
  • 2 bell pepper cored, seeded, and cut into ½-inch dice (about 2 cups, red
  • ½ red onion finely chopped (about 1 cup, medium
  • 4 garlic roughly chopped (about 2 teaspoons, small cloves
  • 4 teaspoons oregano dried
  • 2 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 2 black beans 15-ounce cans, rinsed and drained, about 3 cups
  • 3 celery cut into ¼-inch dice (about 1 ½ cups, large stalks
  • 1 green bell pepper cored, seeded, and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • ½ kale stemmed and roughly chopped (about 2 cups, bunch
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon, fresh
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder or to taste
  • salt sea salt
  • grain for serving, steamed grains or warm tortillas
  • tortilla for serving, steamed grains or warm tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a large stew pot or Dutch oven, place the tomatoes, red bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes (the juices from the onion and tomatoes will be enough to keep the sauce from burning).
  2. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. In a blender in batches or using a hand blender, blend the sauce until smooth. Return to the pot.
  3. Add the black beans, celery, green bell pepper, corn, kale, cilantro, lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, salt to taste, and 2 cups water to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the greens are tender and the chili thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Serve hot over steamed grains or with warm tortillas.

Notes

  • Storage: Cool the soup completely and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
