Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the vegetables

Dice onion, carrots, and celery. Mince garlic.

2
Sauté the vegetables

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3
Add spices

Add cumin, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Stir to coat and cook for 1 minute to toast spices.

4
Add beans and liquids

If using canned beans, drain and rinse them. If using dried beans, they should be pre-cooked. Add beans, broth, and tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine.

5
Simmer the soup

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6
Blend part of the soup

Remove about 2 cups of soup. Blend until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Return blended portion to the pot. This creates a thicker texture while maintaining some whole beans.

7
Final seasoning

Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining salt if needed. Simmer for 5 more minutes.

8
Serve

Ladle into bowls. Serve hot. Optional: Top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime.
