Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion - chopped
  • 2 celery ribs - chopped
  • ½ cup carrots - chopped
  • 1 guajilla chili - chopped (or arbol chili pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 28 ounces chopped tomatoes
  • 32 ounces vegetable stock - or vegetable broth
  • 15- ounce can black beans - drained and rinsed

For Serving

  • Avocado slices
  • Tortilla chips
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the guajilla chili, paprika, cumin, and ground coriander. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, and black beans. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with avocado slices and tortilla chips, if desired.

Notes

  • If guajilla chiles aren’t available, an arbol chili pepper or a small amount of chili powder can be used instead.
  • This soup is meant to be brothy with whole beans and vegetables. If you want a slightly thicker texture, mash a small portion of the beans with a potato masher and stir them back in.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
