Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 large cloves garlic (minced) (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced)
4 (15-ounce) cans cooked black beans, undrained
1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (can also use whole tomatoes)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 juicy lime)
Fresh-sliced jalapeno
Fresh cilantro
Chopped scallions

Your favorite hot sauce

Steps:

  • Set a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. Add the onion and oregano and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, for another minute. Add the cumin, pepper, beans, tomatoes, vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. If using whole tomatoes, break them up with a spoon.
  • Increase heat to high to bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered until thickened, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool until safe to handle. Transfer 6 cups to a blender and puree. Return to soup and stir to combine. (You can also remove 6 cups from the soup and use an immersion blender to puree that half of the soup, if you prefer).
  • Return to medium heat until reheated throughout. Add lime juice. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve with optional toppings.
