Ingredients:
- 2 cans organic black beans
- 1 large red Bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium-sized onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:
-
Start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add your onion, garlic, carrot, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Sauté until the vegetables soften, which may take about 5-7 minutes.

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the pot, along with cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and allow to simmer for at least 20-30 minutes. This helps deepen the flavor of the soup.

Optional: You can use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.
