Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
1 banana, peeled and sliced
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™), or to taste
1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk
2 cups vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup sour cream, for garnish
½ cup chopped red bell peppers, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the olive oil in a deep, heavy pot, and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and 1 red pepper; cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans. Add the mango, banana, cumin, ginger, and hot pepper sauce; stir and cook until fruit softens. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring soup mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid reduces, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place soup in batches into a blender, and blend until smooth; or use a stick blender to blend in the soup pot. Serve garnished with dollops of sour cream and sprinkled with red bell pepper.

This soup is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love the combination of black beans, corn, and tomatoes. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro and it was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this soup again and again.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a can of black beans instead of dried beans, and it still turned out great. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
