Instructions
Cook Dried Beans
- Rinse the dried black beans. Add the beans to a medium-sized bowl and cover with water. Let soak overnight (or at least 6 hours).
- Rinse and then add to a stock pot with at least 4 cups of water. Heat on high and bring to a boil and let cook for 10 minutes before reducing the heat and simmering for 60 - 90 minutes, until beans are tender.
Soup
- Add olive oil to a dutch oven or other large pot and heat on medium. Add onions, garlic, and pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add spices, turn to coat onions and peppers in spices and cook to toast spices for another 60 seconds.
- Add tomatoes and black beans and stir. Add stock and bring heat up to medium-high until it reached a boil. Reduce heat to let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Gently add soup to a blender (you may need to do this in batches), or use an immersion blender right in your pot, to blend until creamy.
- Top with fresh cilantro, additional diced tomatoes, diced avocado, cotija cheese (or your other favorite cheese), or tortilla chips. Enjoy!

- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Black Beans: You can of course use canned. Just be sure to rinse first and shake off any excess water.
- Onion: Yellow onion is fine, too.
- Roma tomatoes: Use your favorite! We love Romas because of their relatively low water content.
- Cotija Cheese: Finish this soup with your favorite! Shredded cheddar or Colby are also great!
- Add Some Heat
- Add Some Heat
- We keep this pretty mild for our kids, but if I make this just for my husband, I like to add some diced fresh jalapeno to saute with the onion. You can also up the cayenne pepper!
