Ingredients


2 tablespoons vegetable oil


3/4 cup diced white onion


3/4 cup diced celery


1/2 cup diced carrot


1/4 cup diced green bell pepper


2 tablespoons minced garlic


4 (15 ounce) cans black beans


4 cups chicken stock


2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar


2 teaspoons chili powder


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1/2 teaspoon cumin


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke


Garnish


shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend, blend


chopped green onion, sour cream


Directions


1Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium/low heat.


2Add onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic to the oil and simmer slowly (or';sweat'; as it's called), for 15 minutes or until the onions are practically clear.


3Keep the heat low enough that the veggies don't brown and be careful not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter.


4While you cook the veggies, pour the canned beans into a strainer and rinse them under cold water.


5Measure 3 cups of the drained and strained beans into a food processor with 1 cup of chicken stock.


6Puree on high speed until smooth.


7When the veggies are ready, pour the pureed beans, the whole beans, the rest of the chicken stock, and every other ingredient in the list (down to liquid smoke), to the pot.


8Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes or until soup has thickened and all the ingredients are tender.
