| 1 pound | dried black beans, (about 2 1/2 cups), rinsed |
| 2 medium | onions, chopped |
| 1 large | red bell pepper, seeded and chopped |
| 4 cloves | garlic, finely chopped |
| 1 tablespoon | ground cumin |
| 1 teaspoon | ground chipotle pepper |
| 2 tablespoons | chopped fresh cilantro |
| 2 tablespoons | nutritional yeast |
| 1 tablespoon | fresh lime juice |
| 1/2 | ripe avocado, chopped |
Method
Soak the beans overnight or 6 to 8 hours prior to cooking. Drain and rinse.
In a large pot, bring 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell pepper and garlic
and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in
cumin and chipotle and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add drained beans and 10 cups water. Bring soup to a
boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until beans are tender. Remove 4
cups soup and carefully purée in a blender. Return purée to pot and stir in cilantro, nutritional yeast and
lime juice. Spoon into bowls for serving and garnish with avocado.
