Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the black beans thoroughly. Soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the beans.
  2. 2Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. 3Stir in cumin and oregano and cook for 30 seconds.

  5. 5Remove bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamy texture.
