Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic grated or pressed
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon epazote or Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked black beans with cooking liquid
- Optional toppings such as pickled onions jalapeños, avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro, or sour cream
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot set over medium-high heat. Saute onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more, then stir in tomatoes.
- Stir in spices and mix well, cooking until fragrant.
- Add beans and their cooking liquid and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove 2 cups of the soup and puree in a blender, then return to the pot and stir well. Simmer another 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
If using dried beans, soak 1/3 cup overnight, then cover with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until tender, 45-90 minutes.
