Ingredients

  • 4 cups black beans cooked
  • 1-2 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ fresh jalapeño seeded
  • ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • Juice from one lime
  • Ancho Chile Pepitas
  • ¼ cup raw unsalted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • ¼ teaspoon ancho chile powder

Instructions

  • Toast the pepitas. Add the pepitas and ancho chile powder to a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the pepitas are toasted. Stir frequently to avoid burning and ensure pepitas are well-coated with chile powder.
  • Make the soup. Add all ingredients to a blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer the soup to a pot and gently heat through. Stir periodically. Serve warm topped with the toasted pepitas.
  • NOTE: If you using drained, canned beans, you'll need more vegetable broth. Adjust to the desired consistency.
