Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrot, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Drain and Rinse Beans

    Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Beans

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed black beans. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  5. 7

    Blend the Soup

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.

  6. 8

    Finish with Lime Juice

    Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro.
