Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
8 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped jalapeños with seeds
2 cups dried black beans (about 13 ounces)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
8 cups (or more) vegetable stock or canned vegetable broth
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeños; sauté 5 minutes. Mix in beans and spices. Add 8 cups stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until beans are tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup with cilantro in blender. Return soup to pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate.)
  • Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more stock if necessary. Ladle into bowls. Serve, passing lime wedges separately.
