Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
½ yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
¾ cup chicken broth
¼ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir black beans, chicken broth, orange juice, cayenne pepper, and chili powder with the vegetables in the pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 15 minutes.
Ladle about half the solids into a blender. Add enough liquid so the solids are completely submerged. Hold lid in place and pulse blender a few times before leaving on to puree. Return pureed mixture to pot and stir.
