Instructions

In a large pot and over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno and saute until onions are tender and translucent.
Add cumin, oregano, and bay leaf and cook for two more minutes.
Add vegetable broth and black beans and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and remove the bay leaf.
Using an immersion blender or a blender (working in batches), puree the soup to desired consistency.

Notes

To thicken the soup: If you prefer the soup to be very thick and creamy, blend ¾ of the batch. We prefer the soup to have some whole beans and peppers for more texture, so we only blend half of the batch.
If you don’t have an immersion blender: Blend the soup in a regular blender in batches, then stir it back into the pot.
Substitute dried black beans: To make black bean soup with dried black beans, boil 3 cups of beans in 4 cups of water until they’re tender (1 to 1 ½ hours), then make the soup as normal.
