Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion
- 8 oz. gold potato (about 1 medium)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 30 oz. canned black beans (two 15 oz. cans)
- 15 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 4 oz. diced green chiles
- 1 cup sweet corn (I use frozen)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Toppings of choice (optional):
- Avocado, cilantro, green onion, tortilla strips, hot sauce, nutritional yeast, chipotle crema, cashew sour cream, fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Dice onion and potato.
- In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. veggie broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, mince garlic.
- When onion is translucent, add potato, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add broth, black beans (rinsed and drained), tomatoes, green chiles, and corn.
- Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until potato is tender.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop cilantro and prepare any desired toppings.
- Before serving, add cilantro to pot and stir to combine. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with toppings of choice. (I enjoy avocado, lime juice, and hot sauce.)
Notes
- Grains: Add cooked rice or quinoa to your bowl if desired.
- Make it spicy: Add jalapeno, chipotle in adobo sauce, more chili powder, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to taste.
- Thickness: Add another can of black beans (or pinto, kidney) for an extra thick & hearty soup. Or you can add 1-2 Tbsp. tomato paste with the broth.
