Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and carrot, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, black beans, corn, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Mexican rice, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and corn chips. Add hot sauce to taste.
