Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped fennel and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

02

Step

Stir in minced garlic; cook until fragrant, being careful not to brown, about 2 minutes.

03

Step

Pour in vegetable stock, black beans (undrained), diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, ground cumin, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fennel is tender, 35 to 45 minutes.

04

Step

Add thawed spinach, stirring to separate the leaves. Simmer until spinach is heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving brightens the flavors even more.
This soup freezes beautifully, making it perfect for meal prepping.
