1 diced onion
1 diced red pepper
2 diced carrots
2 diced celery sticks
salt
pepper
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp chili pepper
2 tbsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano (I didn’t have any so I used thyme)
1 can diced tomatoes (I didn’t have any so I used a whole tomato chopped)
1 can black beans
flour (optional)
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
This is all you need:
Heat up some olive oil over med high heat:
Add the diced vegetables, and season with salt and pepper:
Once the onions are translucent, add the garlic and spices; reduce heat to medium:
Add the tomato and cook until the tomatoes break down, then add the beans, season again (at this point you can add about 1tbsp of flour; this is optional and only if you want a thicker broth):
add the water and then the bay leaf and turn the heat to high until boiling:
once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes:
Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) until it taste good to you. Once ready, serve with your choice of toppings: cheese, avocado, fresh lemon juice, tortilla chips:
