Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pan. Add the onions, garlic cloves and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown.
- Add the black beans, chicken broth, oregano, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
- Purée the soup using a hand-held immersion blender until very smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, you can use a standard blender to puree the soup in batches; see note.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and freshly chopped cilantro.
- Note: If using a standard blender, purée the soup in batches, being careful not to fill the jar more than halfway. Be sure to leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. (It may thicken up a bit while in the freezer; if so, just thin it out with a bit of water or broth while reheating.)

BEST BLACK BEAN SOUP
This American classic can be a perfect dish: big-tasting, filling, nutritious, easy and very possibly vegetarian. With their rich natural broth, turtle beans do not need bacon, ham or any meat ingredient to make a satisfying soup. Black bean soup recipes have a tendency to turn out sludgy or bland, but the trick here is to season generously, and purée sparingly. The beans should be swimming in liquid, not sitting in sludge: The more beans are puréed, the more starch is released into the soup. For flavor, this recipe deploys marinated chipotle chiles, but a tablespoon each of ground cumin and ground coriander make a good heat-free substitute. (A note: Since there is acid from the wine here, if your tap water is hard there might be a reaction that will prevent the beans from softening. To be safe, add the wine later, along with the stock. And if there is any question about the hardness of your water, use distilled.)

Steps:
- Empty the can of chiles into a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth, scrape into a container, and set aside. Put on a teakettle of water to boil, and keep hot.
- In a large, heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add carrots, onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Pour in wine and let simmer until pan is almost dry and vegetables are coated. Add jalapeños and cook, stirring, just until softened, 2 minutes. Push the vegetables out to the edges of the pot and dollop 2 teaspoons of chipotle purée in the center. Let fry for a minute and then stir together with the vegetables.
- Add beans, stock, oregano and bay leaves. Stir, bring to a boil, and let boil 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, partly covered, stirring occasionally and adding hot water as needed to keep the soup liquid and runny, not sludgy. Continue cooking until beans are just softened and fragrant, 1 to 2 hours. Add salt and pepper and keep cooking until beans are soft.
- Meanwhile, make the pickled onions, if using: In a bowl, combine sliced onions, lime juice and a sprinkling of salt. Let soften at room temperature until crunchy and tart, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Squeeze dry in paper towels and refrigerate until ready to serve. If desired, chop coarsely before serving.
- Adjust the texture of the soup: The goal is to combine whole beans, soft chunks and a velvety broth. Some beans release enough starch while cooking to produce a thick broth without puréeing. If soup seems thin, use an immersion blender or blender to purée a small amount of the beans until smooth, then stir back in. Continue until desired texture is reached, keeping in mind that the soup will continue to thicken as it sits.
- Heat the soup through, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, drops of red wine vinegar and dabs of chipotle purée.
- Serve in deep bowls, garnishing each serving with sour cream, pickled onions, cilantro leaves, sliced chiles and avocado as desired.

BLACK BEAN SOUP WITH HABANEROS (CAN BE SPICY OR NOT)
This soup has so much flavor, and I love the fact that I am sneaking in some extra veggies that are not always well-received in my household. Keep and eye on the habaneros to make sure they don't fall apart, thus making the soup very spicy. By cooking the habeneros whole, you flavor the soup with their delicious flavore without making it spicy for the wimps in your family.

Steps:
- Soak beans overnight in 4 cups of water. Drain off the water and put beans in a large pot.
- Add 10 cups of water to the pot with the beans. Bring the beans to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook until the beans are tender. Approximately 2 hours.
- When the beans are tender, add the remaining ingredients, and simmer until desired consistency. You may need to add more water. If it is too thin, cook longer until some of the liquid has cooked off.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, sliced green onions, and grated cheese, if desired.

Tips:
- Soak the black beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you'll need to add some extra seasonings to the soup.
- Don't overcook the beans: Black beans are relatively quick to cook, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the habaneros to taste: Habaneros are very spicy, so it's important to add them to taste. If you're not sure how spicy you want the soup to be, start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Black bean soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Conclusion:
Black bean soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
