This soup gets its rich texture from not rinsing the beans; the starchy
liquid from the can is used to thicken the soup.
Makes about 6 cups
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ medium onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, not drained
1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Crème fraîche or plain, whole-milk yogurt for serving
Cilantro, chopped, for serving
Tortilla chips for serving
1. Put the garlic, onion and jalapeño into the chopping cup. Pulse to
finely chop. Remove and reserve. Put the bell pepper in the chopping
cup and pulse to finely chop; reserve with the other vegetables.
2. Put the oil in a stockpot set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot,
add the chopped vegetables and sauté until soft, about 5 to
7 minutes.
3. Add ¾ teaspoon of the salt, bay leaf and cumin. Cook, while stirring,
until nicely fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the beans (with liquid from can) and the broth. Simmer, partially
covered, until all the ingredients are tender and the flavors have
melded, about 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
