Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sour cream, avocado, or tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.
