Black Bean Soup Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Spices

   Stir in the cumin and chili powder, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the black beans (drained and rinsed) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to reach desired consistency.

5. 5

   Season and Blend (optional)

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For a smoother texture, you can blend part of the soup with an immersion blender or regular blender.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Stir in lime juice before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro.
