Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra heat)
  • 2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and jalapeño; cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
  3. Add black beans, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, or transfer half to a blender and return to pot. This will thicken the soup while leaving some texture.
  5. Stir in lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro. Add toppings like avocado, sour cream, or tortilla strips if desired.

Notes

  • Add corn or bell peppers for extra texture and sweetness.
  • For a smoky twist, use chipotle peppers in adobo instead of jalapeño.
  • Soup keeps well and tastes even better the next day.
