Servings: persons

1 lb dried black beans
water
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 celery ribs, minced
1 large carrot, minced
1/2 large onion, minced
1 small sweet red pepper, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1
Soak black beans overnight or for at least eight hours.
2
Rinse beans thoroughly and place in Dutch oven. Cover with water. Bring beans just to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer. Continue to add water as needed to keep the water level just above the beans. Simmer until beans are tender. About 90 minutes.
3
When beans are tender, add the lime juice, cumin and garlic powder.
4
Saute all minced vegetables in vegetable oil until barely tender. Cover vegetables with vegetable broth and simmer until vegetables are very tender.
5
Place vegetables with broth and 1/3 of black beans into a blender. Blend very well until the mixture is very smooth.
6
Pour vegetable/bean puree back into bean mixture and if necessary, add a more vegetable broth if mixture seems too thick.
7
If the soup is not to your thickness preference, mix cornstarch with equal parts cold water and mix with a spoon until well incorporated. Pour cornstarch/water mixture into bean soup, while simmering until the soup is the consistency you like.
8
Top with regular or vegan sour cream, for a special touch and enjoy! Best served with a delicious grilled cheese sandwich (whole wheat and havarti).
