Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4-5

1 onion (diced)
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cans (398 ml) black beans
2 cups vegetable stock (or 2 cups filtered water + 1 bullion cube)
1-2 tsp. chipotle pepper paste
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt

Optional:
1 tsp. cayenne

Toppings:
-organic plain yoghurt
-green onions (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until onions are transparent.
2. Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, puree one can of black beans and liquid.
3. Add vegetable stock, pureed beans, and 1 can of whole beans and liquid to saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low.
4. Add chipotle pepper paste, sea salt, and cumin. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings. When ready, remove from heat. Top with yoghurt and green onions and serve.

Chipotle pepper paste can be made by pureeing one 7oz. can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The paste can be stored in a glass jar and will keep in the refrigerator for several months.
