• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 2 stalks celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0 optional toppings: sliced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, celery, and red bell pepper. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cumin powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the black beans, vegetable broth, and canned diced tomatoes (with their liquid). Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen corn, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

Use a handheld immersion blender to puree a small portion of the soup directly in the pot (optional: blend to your desired consistency). Alternatively, transfer a portion to a blender, puree, and return it to the pot.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot with optional toppings like sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, or shredded cheese.
