Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions, celery and carrot and a light sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetable are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, cumin and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the beans and broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, until the broth is flavorful and the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer about 4 cups of the soup to a stand blender, securely fasten the lid, and blend until smooth (never fill your blender past the maximum fill line, and beware the steam that escapes from the top of the blender, it's very hot). Or, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the cilantro, vinegar/lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste. Serve.

BLACK BEAN SOUP WITH HABANEROS (CAN BE SPICY OR NOT)
This soup has so much flavor, and I love the fact that I am sneaking in some extra veggies that are not always well-received in my household. Keep and eye on the habaneros to make sure they don't fall apart, thus making the soup very spicy. By cooking the habeneros whole, you flavor the soup with their delicious flavore without making it spicy for the wimps in your family.

- Adding a little bit of cumin, oregano, and chili powder to the soup enhances its flavor.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or tortilla chips.
