Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium heat. Add the peppers, onion, celery and carrot. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring a bit, or until the vegetables soften up.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes and a bit of salt and pepper. Stir and cook 30 seconds, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the black beans and chicken (or vegetable) stock and stir. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. You can simmer longer to develop more flavor if you'd like.
- Optional, for a Creamier Soup: Transfer about half of the soup to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add back to the soup. You can also use an immersion blender for this. Use caution handling hot soup.
- Adjust with salt and pepper. Serve into bowls and swirl in some fresh lime juice. Garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes 4 large bowls of black bean soup.
- Heat Factor: Medium. You'll get a good level of heat from the jalapenos and the chosen seasonings. Omit the jalapeno peppers for a milder soup. Add hotter peppers for a spicier black bean soup.
