How to cook deliciously - Black Bean Soup

1. Stage

In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add jalapeños and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste, stir to coat vegetables, and cook about a minute more. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder and stir to coat.

2. Stage

Add black beans and broth. Stir soup, add bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and let simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. (If a thinner soup is desired, add more broth as needed.)

3. Stage

Remove bay leaf and let cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend soup to desired consistency.

4. Stage

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, and cilantro.
