Rainy, cool weather = soup cravings (for me at least) I looked through my pantry and fridge and found the few ingredients needed for this soup. Really easy to make, healthy, cheap and really yummy. Can't ask for more!
Ingredients:1 onion
1 red pepper
6-8 garlic cloves
3 heaping teaspoons of cumin
2 heaping teaspoons of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon chiplotle powderabout 10 leaves of fresh oregano (finely chopped), or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Kosher salt, to taste
1 box of chicken or vegetable stock (32 fluid ounces)
1 bag of black beans , soaked overnight and cooked (makes approximately 5 1/2 cups)...
OR about 3 to 4 cans of black beans (Try to find BPA free cans, EDEN brand)
cilantro to top
Directions:
Chop the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Add oil to soup pot, turn to medium heat and add onions and a pinch of kosher salt. Allow to cook for two minutes. Throw in the spices. Add red pepper and allow to cook until both the onions and peppers are soft and lightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Add about 4 1/2 cups of beans, toss to coat onion mixture. Add stock. Use an immersion blender and blend until preferred consistency is reached. I then added about 3/4 o 1 cup extra beans and left them unblended for some texture. Top with cilantro and you have a nice, warming, healthy bowl of soup!!!! Served with my spicy garlic twists.
