List of Ingredients




1 small can (15.5 ounces) black beans (or 6 cups soaked and cooked black beans)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 ribs celery, trimmed and diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, drained and chopped
2 cans (14 ounces each) vegetable broth
1 envelope ham-flavored concentrate (made by Goya)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups water
1 cup sour cream, optional


Recipe



1. Drain and rinse all beans. Set aside. Heat oil in 5-quart stock pot over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, onion and garlic. Cook, over medium heat, for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped chipotle peppers.

2. Once onion and garlic are fragrant and slightly softened, pour in vegetable broth, ham flavoring, oregano, water and beans. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 20 minutes, uncovering occasionally to stir.

3. Purée soup in batches and serve warm with sour cream, if desired.
