Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
½ yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
¾ cup chicken broth
¼ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir black beans, chicken broth, orange juice, cayenne pepper, and chili powder with the vegetables in the pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 15 minutes.
Ladle about half the solids into a blender. Add enough liquid so the solids are completely submerged. Hold lid in place and pulse blender a few times before leaving on to puree. Return pureed mixture to pot and stir.

Tips:

For a smoky flavor, roast the poblano pepper directly over an open flame or under a broiler until charred. Then, place the pepper in a paper bag and let it steam for 10 minutes before peeling and seeding.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender in batches. Just be careful not to overfill the blender, and hold the lid down with a kitchen towel to prevent splatters.
Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or lime wedges.
Serve the soup with a side of cornbread or tortillas for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This easy and quick black bean soup is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover black beans. With its smoky flavor and creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
