Ingredients

  • 8 cups black beans, cooked (drained and rinsed if using canned beans)
  • 30 ounces canned fire roasted tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 whole vegetable bouillon cube
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream for garnish, optional
  • 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced for garnish (optional)
  • 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, grated for garnish (optional)
  • 1/2 whole avocado, diced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion. Saute for 5 minutes until onion is beginning to caramelize.
  • Add garlic and stir into the onions. Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the black beans, tomatoes, cumin, bouillon cube, water, dried red chili flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Lower heat to medium-low. Place a lid on the pot and cook for 15 minutes, stirring once half way through.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and either puree the soup using a hand-held immersion blender, or transfer the soup to a blender and puree in batches.
  • Return the pureed soup to the burner and simmer for five more minutes.
  • When ready to serve, top with sour cream, cheese, avocado and green onions. (Optional)
  • Serve with your favourite tortilla chips.

Notes

I saved about 1/4 cup of the cooked black beans for garnish as well. This step is completely optional, but does make for a great presentation.
