Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Next, add the diced onion, celery, carrot, and red bell pepper.
- Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, and chili powder and stir. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add black beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 15-25 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf. Blend part of the soup using an immersion blender to thicken it, keeping some beans whole for texture. Alternatively, blend 2 cups of soup in a regular blender until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with desired optional toppings.
