Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Black Bean Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a Dutch oven or a large saucepan and warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped celery, carrot, onion, and garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about five minutes, letting their delightful aromas fill your kitchen as they soften.
Step 4
Next, stir in the black beans along with their liquid, the chicken broth, a splash of orange juice, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and chili powder.
Step 5
Bring this flavorful mixture to a lively boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing it to simmer gently for around 15 minutes until the carrots are tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 6
Now comes the fun part! Carefully ladle about half of the soup solids into a blender, adding just enough liquid from the pot to cover them completely.
Step 7
Secure the lid and give it a few pulses before blending until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Step 8
Pour the pureed goodness back into the pot and stir everything together, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
Step 9
Serve your warm, comforting soup hot, and enjoy the cozy satisfaction it brings!.
