Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil
  • 2 poblano peppers , diced
  • 1 small jalapeno , minced
  • 1/2 medium white onion , diced
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne powder
  • 2 cups of chicken stock
  • 1 (25 oz.) can of black beans, rinsed and drained or 2 (14.5 oz) cans
  • 1/2 cup strained tomatoes or tomato puree (could also substitute salsa)
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • In a 4 qt. soup pot, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the poblano and jalapeno peppers and continue to cook until veggies are tender, about 5 more minutes. Add the garlic, sea salt, ground cumin, garlic powder and cayenne powder to the pan and stir, let cook for about a minute.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, tomato puree and black beans and stir to combine. Cover partially with a lid and let cook for 15 -20 minutes.
  • Puree the soup until smooth using either an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor. If using a blender or food processor, you may need to work in batches. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
  • Stir in the lime juice and serve garnished with either queso fresco, mild feta cheese or sour cream.
