Equipment
  • 1 Large saucepan
  • 1 immersion blender
  • 1 Ladle
Ingredients
  
  • 2 cans of Dried black beans
  • 2 tbsps Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • Celery
  • 1/2 cup Carrots
  • 1/2 cup Onions
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • Salt
  • 4 cups Chicken stock you can substitute vegetable stock for vegetarian soups
  • Bay leaves
Instructions
 
  • Rinse and soak the dried black beans ahead of time.
    Chop the celery, carrots, and yellow onions and mince the garlic cloves.
  • In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, then add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
    Add the minced garlic, chopped carrots and celery, and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, Coriander and salt, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Pour the soaked black beans into the saucepan, along with their liquid and add 4 cups of chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian option); throw in the bay leaves for an extra depth of flavor.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about an hour or until the black beans are cooked through and tender.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, use a food processor or immersion blender to blend the soup in batches, but for a chunkier soup, you can either leave it as is or lightly mash a portion of the beans with a fork.
  • Taste the black bean soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
    If you desire a slightly milder soup, add more stock.
  • Ladle the hearty black bean soup into bowls and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some fresh cilantro.
