Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the Beans and Broth

    Stir in the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), diced tomato, vegetable broth, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

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

  4. 4

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup while leaving some beans whole. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips, chopped cilantro, and crumbled Cotija cheese.
