Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion ((about 1 large onion))

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 (15.25-ounce/432g) cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth ((960ml))
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice ((80ml))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium Dutch oven, add the oil and warm over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook stirring constantly for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the black beans, broth, and lime juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low. Cover, and simmer the soup for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Ladle 2 cups of soup into a blender. With the blender vent open, blend the soup until smooth. Pour back into the pot with the remaining soup.

  5. 5

    Cook, uncovered, until soup has thickened and reached the desired consistency, about 10 to 20 minutes more. (For a thicker soup, go the full 20 minutes.) Serve topped with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.
