Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 4.5 cups cooked black beans or 3 cans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add onions, minced garlic, and jalapeño, cooking until onions soften.
  • For a creamier soup, puree 3 cups or 2 cans of black beans in a blender with a bit of water to help it blend. For a thicker soup, skip this step.
  • Add beans and diced tomatoes to the pot with the cumin, oregano, and paprika. Stir to combine.
  • Place a lid on the pot and allow soup to simmer. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add salt to taste, then serve immediately or chill within 2 hours.
