Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced jalapeño. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute, enhancing their aroma.

03

Step
0 mins

Using an immersion blender, or carefully transferring to a regular blender, puree one can of black beans until completely smooth. Add this creamy mixture to the saucepan.

04

Step
20 mins

Rinse and drain the remaining two cans of black beans. Add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth (or water).

05

Step
0 mins

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

06

Step

Season generously with sea salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired.

For a smoky depth, add a pinch of smoked paprika along with the chili powder.
Consider a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese, or a drizzle of lime juice for serving.
For a heartier meal, stir in cooked quinoa or brown rice during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
If you prefer a completely smooth soup, puree the entire batch after simmering.

    The soup was a bit too spicy for me, so I reduced the amount of jalapeno.
