Ingredients

• 1 can of black beans (400 g/ 14.1 oz.), drained
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of cumin
• 1 small bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 2 cups of vegetable stock
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent (5-7 minutes).

3. Add the black pepper, cumin, bell pepper, paprika, and oregano and sauté for about 1 minute to let the flavours blend together.

4. Next, add the drained black beans and sauté for another minute.

5. Reduce the heat to low and add the vegetable stock—you may need to add more stock depending on the consistency of the soup.

6. Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the beans are soft and the soup has reached your desired consistency.

7. When the soup is almost done, stir in the parsley and simmer for the remaining 5 minutes.

8. To make the soup extra yummy, take a spoon and mash some of the beans in the pot to make a thicker soup.

9. Optional For a creamier soup, add 1/2 cup of coconut cream at the last step before serving!

10. Serve the black bean soup with freshly baked bread or your favourite side dish and enjoy! (Insert a kid-friendly joke here).
