Ingredients

6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 60 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • diced avocado
  • crumbled queso fresco
  • chopped fresh cilantro

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!
