Preparation

Step 1

Saute onion in olive oil.

When onion becomes translucent, add cumin.

Cook 30 seconds, then add garlic and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds.

Add 1 can black beans and 2 cups vegetable broth.

Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Turn off heat.

Using a hand blender, blend the ingredients in the pot, or transfer to a blender.

Add the second can of beans to the pot along with blended ingredients and bring to a simmer.

Serve soup with bowls of red onion and cilantro for garnish.

I add a bit of cilantro to the pot, too.

Can be doubled or frozen.
