Ingredients
- For Soup:
- 1/2- pound dried black beans, soaked overnight and drained
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cups Manischewitz All Natural Vegetable Broth
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to add a little kick
- For Chips
- 1/2 Teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cups corn tortilla chips
Directions
- To prepare soup. In a crock pot, combine all ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours or until beans are tender. Using an immersion blender, standing blender or food processor puree until slightly chunky but mostly smooth or to desired consistency.
- Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine chili powder and coriander. Spread out tortilla chips on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with spice mixture and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until warm. Serve immediately with soup.











If you don’t need it to be parve, I would garnish with a scoop of sour cream! It is delicious and also the classic way to serve black bean soup
not traditional but a dollop of Greek yogurt is also nice.
This was very easy and very good! I changed it up a little and used kosher chicken broth which added a great flavor and I didn’t have red bell pepper, but I had green bell pepper and it was great. Also on a health note: when you soak your beans overnight add a 2-3 tablespoons of whey (if making dairy version) or lemon juice (if making parve or meat version) then you neutralize phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors and break down the difficult-to-digest complex sugars. Rinse beans before adding to the crockpot.
This is a job for my immersion blender! No transferring of hot liquids into blender and back to the pot.
