Ingredients
tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large onion)
1½ cups chopped carrot (about 4 medium carrots)
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 (15.25-ounce/432g) cans black beans drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth (960ml)
¼ cup fresh lime juice (80ml)
Instructions
In a medium Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the chopped onion and carrots, and stir occasionally until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, and smoked paprika (if using) to the pot. Stir to combine, and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the pot from the heat. Drain and rinse the black beans, and add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth and fresh lime juice.
Return the pot to medium heat, and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are very tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the pot from the heat, and let the soup cool for a few minutes. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to puree until smooth. (Be careful blending hot liquids – it’s best to let the soup cool a bit first.)
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
