Scale
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked black beans

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, saute the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a small amount of water until tender, about 8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the black beans, vegetable broth, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and salt to taste. Cook for 10-15 minutes. While the soup is cooking, scoop out half of the soup and process in a blender until smooth and creamy. Return the mixture to the pot. (Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup right in the pot.)
