Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic, and jalapeño and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
- Add the cumin, black beans, vegetable stock, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes, until the beans are very tender.
- Remove the bay leaf. Transfer about 4 cups (900 g) of the soup to a blender and carefully purée until smooth, leaving the top vent of the blender open and covering with a kitchen towel to prevent the soup from splattering.
- Pour the blended soup back into the pot and stir to incorporate. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with avocado, queso fresco, and cilantro.
- Enjoy!
