Yield Serves 6 (first course or light main course)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh jalapeño (2 inches), seeded and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (19-ounces) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups water
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
Accompaniments: chopped cilantro; lime wedges; chopped white onion

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion, garlic, and jalapeño with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until onion is beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beans, water, and bay leaf and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until soup has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer about 2 cups soup to a blender and purée (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return to pot and reheat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Discard bay leaf. Season with salt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I must have forgotten to add the salt.

This soup is delicious, but it's a lot of work. I would only make it for a special occasion.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more broth next time.

I'm allergic to black beans, so I substituted lentils. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is delicious, but it's a little too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I'll save it for a weekend.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I think I needed to add more salt and pepper.

This soup is a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chipotle pepper.

I love the smoky flavor of the chipotle peppers in this soup. It's the perfect balance of spice and heat.
