Yield Serves 6 (first course or light main course)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh jalapeño (2 inches), seeded and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (19-ounces) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups water
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
Accompaniments: chopped cilantro; lime wedges; chopped white onion

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion, garlic, and jalapeño with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until onion is beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beans, water, and bay leaf and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until soup has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer about 2 cups soup to a blender and purée (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return to pot and reheat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Discard bay leaf. Season with salt.

This soup was a solid 7/10. It was good, but not great.

I'm not sure if I would make this soup again. It was good, but not something I would crave.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I wasn't a fan of the chipotle peppers in this soup. I think they overpowered the other flavors.

I found this soup to be a bit too thick. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This soup was way too spicy for me. I could barely eat it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover black beans. It's also a really affordable meal to make.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The flavors were really rich and complex.

This soup is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced and the chipotle peppers give it a nice smoky flavor.

I love this soup! It's so hearty and flavorful. I always add a little extra cumin and chili powder to give it a bit more kick.

This spicy black bean soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. The chipotle peppers added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this again!
