Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 sweet onion, minced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced

  • 1 banana, peeled and sliced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™), or to taste

  • 1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ cup sour cream, for garnish

  • ½ cup chopped red bell peppers, for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the olive oil in a deep, heavy pot, and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and 1 red pepper; cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans. Add the mango, banana, cumin, ginger, and hot pepper sauce; stir and cook until fruit softens. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring soup mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid reduces, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Place soup in batches into a blender, and blend until smooth; or use a stick blender to blend in the soup pot. Serve garnished with dollops of sour cream and sprinkled with red bell pepper.
