Toppings

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, and sauté until it becomes translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Add Black Beans and Spices

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

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to purée part of the soup, or transfer half of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the black bean soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.

  2. 6

    Enjoy!

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious black bean soup!
