Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), vegetable broth, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, you can blend the soup using an immersion blender or by transferring to a blender in batches.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm.
